The Middle Georgia Model Railroad Club puts on an annual event at the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Ga.  Seen in the photo is the HO scale layout in center and the N scale group to the right, surrounded by various aircraft.

Show me something about your layout you don't particularly like and may change.

Now, let's see the SD40-2 working a yard

Well...this isn't exactly an SD40-2, but it has the same frame and body shape: an SD38-2.  IIRC, yard service is the only thing CSX ever used these units for.

Show me a 6-axel EMD doing anything!

A new month.

Show me a SD40-2 working a yard.

 

Wow, an SD40-2 working a yard. That's some yard switcher! I like to use a GP40 from time to time, just like CSX will do w/ some of those Ex Chessie units.

Can't do your SD40-2, but I can fulfill the end of February request for a large steam locomotive.
