"A model"  how about we take that as Lee's Show Me request.  Since apparently nobody considers the Acela as being a high speed train, I was the guilty party at bogging it down.

So here is "a model"

Show me a roundhouse.

2 hour rule?

Here is a "train" the assembly of which was a bit of a "circus" due to speed matching issues with the AC6000 and SD70ace on the lead

Show me a depot

Okay, I'm taking a big chance on something that none of the rest of you probably have.  How about a Challenger that ISN'T Union Pacific, LOL?  This is a big, hunking Rio Grande L-105.  Next to the NP Z-8, it was the biggest 4-6-6-4 ever built.
