Yes, Athearn just released some in UP & SP colors, & should be in stores & on layouts now.  Someone here 'must' have one???  I would, but unemployment = no new trains.

Unfortunately thee modeler who has one of those evidently isn't following this particular thread (If there even is a modeler who has one of those thingies.....).  So, Jarrell!  You out there???  We appear to be stuck as no one has a U50 MS 149 AP dohickey with 16.7 wheels and lots of horsepower and stuff...  Or what ever the heck it is!

 

Help!

Hi fellas.  Let's do this... if a request has been 'up' for 2 hours with no responses someone should ask the person if they'd like to request something else.  That would be the right thing to do.   If there is no response, anyone can make a new request.  But please, don't do it before a couple of hours have passed since the original request.

This very minute someone is trying to get a picture of their U50..   Big Smile, but it's been long enough, see Ray's request above.

Nice veteran's park scene, Morgan. 

Jarrell, thanks for keeping the ball rolling. Perhaps, somebody should have posted two U25B's and called it a U50. Whistling

Here is depot bustling a little with a small train. Gas electric and trailer coach.

A GP7 would be more common than a U50... Please show a GP7.

I think 2 hours is too short of a span. There are some that went 24 hours and a bunch that went over 12 hrs.

Just my opinion since I have few pics to add.

Geez Guys!  I didn't think it would be that tough:

Back to looking for that E Unit.

A Great Dome is a Great Northern dome car.

I made these dome cars before Walthers released its Empire Builder.

Please show some busy people on your layout.

This is the one month anniversary of this thread. Many thanks to Jarrell.

Hi Rob.  I understand your feelings on the matter and I wasn't sure just what time limit it should be.  The 2 hours isn't engraved in stone,  a request should be given at least that much time.    I can't, and probably no one else can monitor the thread all the time and frankly no one should have to.  It has amazed me that it has gone as smoothly as it has.  Guys have been very polite in reminding others about what is requested etc.  It's easy to loose track of what's up sometimes.

Jarrell

Oh yes... Tom requested a drovers caboose!
