Woops. Crap. I didn't know you had to get permission for that.

Umm yea, you know I should too....
Cool History Sawyer. If you'd like you can take my "WIN" name and the paint scheme too. It's just; you can't sell it, nor take credit for it.
Looks like my info is invalid, the SD40-3s got sent down two weeks ago, and 2, 4215, and 4216, got sent to Horicon. 4216 got unveiled as the WIN OLS.
Drawing soon to come.
Here are the WIN trains. They might change in the future.
CAM1, Chicago-Green Bay Manifest. This Manifest will run from IMWs yard on CP trackage rights, back on WIN trackage at CPs/SOOs Cut Off Town/Muskego Yard, and switch the towns along the way. This Manifest will also Interchange with the UP at Plymouth, and the CN at Green Bay.
CAM2, Chicago-Argonne Manifest. This Manifest will be the same as CAM1 when it entered GB, but with new crew, and new power. This will run from WINs Duck Creek yard-Argonne and Interchange with WC/CN at Argonne. They will also work the towns along the way.
GBNL(aka The Packer), Green Bay-New London. This Manifest will solely run from Green Bay to deliver cars to New London. No stops.
MNLN, Manawa-New London-Neenah. This train will work the line from Manawa-Neenah.
SKW, Shawano-Kelly-Wausau. This train runs from Shawano-Wausau working the towns along the way. They also work the industries at Kelly (really Close to Wausau) and interchange with WC/CN at Wausau's South Yard.
WIS, Wausau Industrial switching. Basically sums it up. Switches the Wausau's Industrial park.
MLWGBfc, (aka Beer Run) Milwaukee-Green Bay TOFC. Runs the TOFC from Milwaukee to Green bay.

Well I ment for the connector RR in Chicago. Your WIS, if you'd like you can take the WIN and every thing. Or you can take the name, and change the paint scheme. idc.
It was really nice, wiki. They had a pretty sizeable modular operation going when I moved north. Lots of nice people. All guys older than me (I was probably 10 at the time...) but they were really friendly. Unfortunately, when I saw them last, at the Mad City show in Madison, they were slowly falling apart. One man had cancer, and some of the other guys had dropped out. They weren't taking the layout to shows much, except for the one in madison. They're only 45 minutes from the show room.

Actually, they have a line to Milwaukee. Remember, my version of history is the Chicago Northwestern went bankrupt, and at an auction, the Indiana Southern (I'm just going to call it "Hoosier Railway") bought a line into southern Illinios (to springfield, illinios), and a line up to Milawuakee. BTW, how do you spell Milwaukee? I keep screwing up.
Hows it been guys! Its been a while since i posted here but im going to try and make it a habit! Here is my latest work i finally weathered my Athearn BB F45 i think it looks pretty good! I hope it does to everyone else becuase this was the last engine i had to weather atleast older engines anyway, im leavin my modern power(SD60M-SD70MAC) alone. BTW sorry the pic is a little fuzzy my camera was about to die!
Well I finished my DMIR slide show. I Think it's a bit compressed, what does it look like to you guys? If it is compressed I'll reupload it in one size smaller.

Thanks. Trust me; the sound on those trains was something else. The First ore train I got with the IC leading, was out of this world. 3 645 EMD prime movers accelerating a loaded ore train at track speed was AMAZING. I have never heard anything close to that before hand, and so far haven't yet. Those 3 tunnel motors hauling the limestone train convinced me that I needed to go up there again. The power is so much better, but the sound, it's just so incredible! I can't fully describe how a tunnel motor sounds, it has its own unique sound. The rumble of it moves you too, like, wow, this is true power. The SD38s/38-2s also have there unique sound too, kind of like a chugging sound, unlike the rumble of the EMD SD40-2, or the sucking Deep Rumble of the SD45T-2s. Did I also mention that the Missabe has there own unique horns. You can tell when ones coming before you see it. It was an amazing trip. Not only did I get Full Missabe Consists, but I got to hear what I have only dreamt of. I never heard the SD45s, but this was close. The audio is just amazing there.
Oooooooozzz... nice video!
I went trespassing today...
Walked 4.7 !@#$%^&*( miles on ballast...
Heres the map of where we walked....
Saw some interesting stuff... Osgood Bradley Coach, commuter trains, parts of the EMC GP38, old backshop... Old Buses, some with good graffiti...

Awesome pics, GG.
Okay, so i emailed the guy who does these drawings, and said feel free to post them on forums as long as his original copyright is still intacted, and that you don't take credit for the drawings (but you can take credit form what you do to them). So here's the power that I expect to be running on my layout:
A U25B for the local wayfrieght:
And an rs3 for yard switching:
A GP9 for the local interchange run:
And a generic GP and SD unit, for the mainline frieghts:
GP40
SD45
Like i said, he gave me permission to post these. The copyright is on them.
Lucky, I haven't gotten Permission from Mr. Eby yet. I got a sweet WIN OLS SD45T-2.
Nice pictures Alex.

Check your PMs when you get back. It's kind of late. lol.
The other 4 SD45T-2s got sent to WCs Fon Du Lac Shops for being rebuilding. They will Still carry the SD45 20 cylinder Prime Mover. 4215 and 4216 got sent to Horicon for painting. 4213 is showen here patched in it's orginal SP paint.
4216 got unvailed a few days ago as the WIN's OLS unit. So far this is my favorite unit, along with the Snoot SD40T-2 and the Snoot SD40-2.
4215.
This is one of only 6 Geeps on the WIN.

Thanks, but I can't take credit for them... I offered to post them for some weird kid because Mike Eby doesn't like him!

Yeah, you may know him personally, but from what I've gathered from talking to him online, is he sits in front of the computer 13.4 hours of the day painting locos and posting on forums!

13.5 hours. From my research I foudn out it was 14! Man this guy has no life. I'm pretty sure I don't know him, I would never know a guy that spends THAT much time painting little squares. This guy is starting to drag the hobby down. Makes us look like a buch of lifeless geeks! Oh man, we need to do something about this.
