Please show diesels, of more than one manufacturer, coupled or MUed.

Here are a couple of intermixed ATLANTIC COASTLINE diesels. This scene is on the Pasco County modeler's HO scale show layout.

Please show me two or more diesel locomotives coupled together.

Let's continue with the "B" units.

The PRR was one of a handful of railroads that bought GP9 B units:

Kevin: "Show me another "B" unit, (it is OK if an "A" is attached."

New York Central A/B set #1855 and #2425 started as Athearn kits in Burlington Northern and Canadian Pacific liveries respectively. There is a sound decoder in the "B" unit which is electrically coupled to the lead engine which has its own decoder.

Let's continue with the "B" units.

I took my eldest grandson to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry via AMTRAK from Elyria several years ago.

Maybe someday I will have a grandchild, and I will get to do something like that.

I took my eldest grandson to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry via AMTRAK from Elyria several years ago. He spent most of the day watching the trains on the BNSF layout. I had to drag him away to see the U-505 and the rest of the wonders in the museum. A great time!

There are a few photos of our June 2008 visit on the Railroading page on my website.

The largest, not necessarily heaviest, industry on the BRVRR is The Farmers Union Elevator.

More industry, heavy or otherwise, please.
