[quote user="Packer"]Tyler got one after a shell swap (was a SAL GP9 III, now an IC GP18).[/quote] Yup... Plus an ATSF GP30 and a PRR GP7... But now I (finally) have enough locos to run a pair on each train, so I'm about done buying locomotives. The only exception would be if I could find two EMD F and E units to kitbash into a pair of FL9s... (Two FL9s since I'd only use half of each unit plus detail parts, so I'd have parts to make two) For those who don't know about FL9s, they have a 4-axle truck on the front and a 6-axle truck on the rear. This was needed to support the duel-mode third rail shoe pickups for operation into Grand Central Terminal.I've only seen one, and since I was standing 100 feet away to take this photo with a zoom lens (I actually cropped in pretty tight) I wasn't able to get a photo of the side with the trucks... Good ol' 487... Now on the Morristown & Erie/Maine Eastern. <a href="http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1306539">http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1306539</a>
