That is a nice loco...
Looking forward to the photos!
The EJ&E SD38-2 is now officially owned by me! I won it for $144, which is about what a Kato SD38-2 is worth. This was was actually scratch built and has a non-working red strobe, stripes on both the front and rear, and even the sill stripes along the frame. I'll try to post some photos of it and my EJ&E fleet when the 663 arrives at its next destination! It looks pretty cool, if you look quickly you can still see some photos of it on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220279635692&category=19134&sspagename=rvi:1:1v_. It was worth every cent! For comparison reasons here is the prototype version of 663. The model is pretty accurate of the prototype.
Well good luck with your purchase Robby. I hope I can get one of the two Algoma Central SD40s.
We missed TMRP's first Birthday 11 days ago! An idea by a couple of teens on a forum, and now look what it turned out to be!

Well, don't worry about me, I'm in N scale and got pretty much ZERO money. Pics of your fleet?

someone forgot their meds this AM.... :D
figured id make an appearence... i'm 17 (18 on the 23rd) and i'm in the precess of tearing one (crappy) layout down, but i don't think i'm gonna build another for a while. i'm off 2 college in a year, so it's not really worth starting one until i'm done with that. dorm rooms aren't exactly gigantic, you see.

...and "LOL"s don't really fit either IMHO...
I think I saw the locomotive on another thread, I'm pretty sure it was an Atlas SD40-2. Am I right?

Yup, I've been busy...and I still don't know what the new yard plan will look like! I think the classification tracks may be stub-ended, but I'm not sure.You can count on longer locomotive servcicing tracks and a long siding to store "junk" and the MOW equipment. I've been slowly gathering that kind of stuff. Here's my "junk"/MOW roster, most of which never gets used.
Ex-CN FP7 used for spare parts...
40-foot boxcar used for MOW service...
Possibly this wooden coach...
This snowplow...
This flatcar, which is now patched for the White River Southern Railroad.
Well I got back from marching in another parade today.
SD60M, bench work looks good, make sure to add a layer of foam, it really helps.
Robby, good luck on the SD38-2.

Well Alex, if I still had the spray paint you can be sure I would have...
i hope you didn't write what i think you wrote on your table cause that would be very.....weird
though i did learn an expensive lesson a couple days ago, if you don't have time to ballast your points and wait till they dry, don't get the heat gun out and try dry the water out of the cement cause you end up with a melted turnout.......it was a peco curved tunout as well
