"Mr.AtothaM" ... "A to the M..."  Al Mayo.  I mean he's not exactly being subtle.

Who is Al MAyo??

A low life loser that has nothing better to do than spam train forums and Youtube videos. Just do a Google search for his name. He's everywhere. (just like dog crap...)

 Happy belated Birthday Packer. Your post remained me I have a U-Boat SP Bloody Nose, I have not ran it for years. Need to see if I can find it.Big Smile

 MRC 220 is pretty good as well, I remember when I got my first MRC 1400 transformer, it was the first step of upgrading.

Wrong Packer, Ken.

CS, where'd you get the squid? hope it wasn't out of the bait cooler. (I've used squid for bait, only catches pinfish an puffers [the hard part about them is getting the hook out with out them puffing up])

Missabe, like the lumber scene.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

I suppose we should be careful. I did google as suggested, and there is a guy with a decent website with a UP theme model railroad. Looked like a neat layout. My concern is that I would not want for us to pick on the wrong guy.

Al has a very good looking layout. He's very talented.

So he is more of a kind of radical perfectionist?

No, he's more of a "Unless this is 110% PERFECT, you suck at model railroading" kind of guy. And ditto, he just might be a terrorist. I've heard that he loves UP, and yes, he is a good modeler.

I know I am late but I wanted to try this photo. This is a new AC4400CW passing an old Sd40-2 which has been taking care of switching a local. The AC is pulling a once a week unit grain train with two older geeps trailing.

I really like your track plan but I'm not sure its going to work in 4X8. I think the curves are a little too tight assuming it's not a narrow guage railroad. What radius are your  curves going to be? On the plan they look tighter than 15".

If your talking about my plan, they're 11" radius, but the biggest stuff I'll be running (a U23B and plastic pellet hoppers are the biggest) make it around them just fine. Mostly, it'll be a GP35 leading a bunch of boxcars (the longest being 53 footers) and a few hoppers around, lol. They'll run fine. Thanks for your concern though!
