Ed: I finally got to watch all of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and you're right, it is a great movie! Now only For a Few Dollars More and A Fistful of Dollars to go... Well the modern day CB&Q is wanting to turn into BN again.[:I] I still like the 1950's era of the Q just as much if not more than I like the modern era, so at the moment I'm sticking with the transition era. But do you know how awsome a CB&Q SD70MAC in front of a NP SD70MAC would be???!!! So the modern-day CB&Q still has a chance....[:D][:p] And I got a module built, a 2x6 one that I'll sand down and varnish sometime this week, however the construction of it leads me to ask one particularly nagging question: Do they have 2x2 boards (for the legs) ready-made, or do you have to rip a 2x4 in to to make them? On our module, my dad and I just ripped 2x4s in to and used those for the legs, but I was wondering if you can buy these....? Unfortunate news on the CB&Q front: BNSF has completely closed down the ex-CB&Q West Burlington Shops, ending a locomotive shop that not only made a great deal of CB&Q steam locomotives but did virtually all maintenence on CB&Q, and BN diesel engines. BNSF also has sold or is getting ready to sell the CB&Q's old West Chicago-Aurora line to a Illinois regional; this line was the very first part of the CB&Q built in the late 1840's/early 1850's.
