Three UP FM H15-44s, with Loksound decoders shoe-horned into the chassis. I've shifted the air horns to what seems to be the prototypical position on each loco, lengthened the exhaust stacks and given them some weathering. They still require sun shades above the windows.

Let me explain.....you see, a forum member here Emailed me and asked if he could have my address so he could send a get well card. I gave him my work address and a few days after we got home from the hospital (after a week stay) I got a box in the mail. I took it home to my son and he was overjoyed at the fact that he now had his own train (even though I'd already given him his pick of any of mine years ago.....this one was HIS!). Inside the box was a beautiful N scale 4-8-4 Northern locomotive and a few cars. A day or two later, another box arrived! Seems that my address was making the rounds! A bunch of cars were inside, just waiting to go for a spin around the layout. And two days ago, another box! More cars (a ton of them!), all carefully wrapped up and just awaiting my sons glistening eyes! I don't know what to say........he's thrilled and I'm humbled by the generosity displayed. Thanks you guys.....you know who you are. And so, without further delay, I present, The Surgery Train! (And yes, we know it has three cabooses and we like it that way!)(Click to enlarge) Thanks guys! You're the best!
