Modelling AT&SF in the 90s
Gone but not forgotten.....
The reminds me of 3 ex-CNW hoppers I saw a few weeks ago. They had been painted gray with the UP logo, but where the CNW logo is, the paint was falling off and you could clearly see the employee owned logo. You cannot surpress the awesome!
I Here Ya! ,Me and the family went to San Deigo last week and i seen alot of trains on the way ,most were UP,And BNSF but,There were alot of C&NW cars in those loads I was releved to still see them..

Hi Guys Been Awhile since theres been a post.Thought id give it a bump.
Carl.
Glad to see this topic going again. Lately all I've been able to think about is CNW. I'm considering modeling CNW in either '78, '81, or '84. (I currently model CGW in '68) Of course, there'd still be plenty of stuff in FULL CGW PAINT (it's MY layout)
Then I could run CNW-GP38-2s-GP35s-LOTS of GP7s/GP9s
the list goes on......
WoW! Those are really nice pictures,Im glad to see some of those ac4400's still around great job!
Dingoix i Think you making a wise choice indeed
Does anyone here subscrbe to The Northwestern Lines (www.cnwhs.com)
I'm a C&NWHS member also, and therefore subscribe. The Northwestern Lines alone is worth the "contributing member" annual fee, and you get a C&NWHS calender!
I also model (albeit loosely) the CNW; the "Northwest Line," from Clybourn Jnt. to Seeger Jnt. One project I'm working on is scratchbuilding or kitbashing a small fleet of bi-levels. I am in S-gauge, and there's no models of bilevel coaches or cab-cars available.

When your finish someone will come out with them.
Re: When you finish someone will come out with them.
Of course, it's always that way. The other side of it is if I don't build them, and wait for someone to produce them, it will never happen. I believe there's a sub-set of Murphy's Law that is in force. It's sort of like rain and washing your car... if you wash your car, it's sure to rain on it; but if you want it to rain, washing your car will never make it rain... Go figure...
Ive Thought about it ,I will on my next layout ,I also model EJ&E not alot of those around
Yeah, I model CGW (for now, anyway).
I seen alot of ac4400;s C&NW locos on ebay today but theres no RTR Not that i care ,i like to build them but ,i see there rare
Yeah there are a lot of BB CNW AC4400s- they are somewhat hard to find. I think my LHS may have a few, tho.
