[#ditto] I do not model UP, but I sure am proud of, and happy to have, the recently arrived Lionel Challenger 3984, two-tone grey. It was not a very good addition to the family originally because it had the effrontery to show me all of my track-laying errors.

But, I forgive it. [:D]

[alstom]

OKAY, I'm finally back! Sorry about the secret log-off earlier!

[alstom]

Well, goodnight all.

[alstom]

So you're back Eric?

[Anonymous]

Yeah, you know me I couldn't stay away.

[alstom]

LOL! So did you get anything done with your layout since your last visit here?

[Anonymous]

What happened last night, Richard?

[alstom]

I had an unexpected call from my grandma from Kansas (I'm from Ohio) so we talked a while and then we ran down to the grocery store, yes we are late, late shoppers, we hate daytime lines---LOL. And then by the time I got back on, you were gone (hey a rhyme)!

[Anonymous]

Well I guess that your off you the hook. How goes your layout and what scale is it in?

[alstom]

My layout is HO Scale. My first loco was an EMD SD60MAC in NS paint. I purchased it in 2001. I dreamed to build a permanent layout ever since. My first favorite rr was SAL, and I purchsed a O sclae Baldwin SAL diesel. After a while I got into NS as my favorite roadname and got a NS SD60 in O scale and then a CSX C44ACCTE in O Scale (AC4400CW). I relized that O Scale was too big for me so I knocked it down to HO in 2002. I have been collecting models since. In 2003 CSX became my favorite rr.

Right now, as I said on my profile, I have over 100 HO engines and 200 HO railcars.

[Anonymous]

You gonna talk or what?

[alstom]

Eric, you're a bit late on that post. LOL

[Anonymous]

Not a bad collection. I own over 500 postwar trains, net value $250,000.00.
As well as my HO collection, over 175 brass and plastic locos and 350 frieght car, no passenger.

Actually, the C44ACCTE designation is strictly UP. Everyone else uses AC4400CW. Good thing UP doesn't run around here. I'd have a hard time keeping up with all their new names for locomotives!

Model error, model error: uspscsx pointed otu that the C44ACCTE is only UP and it says that on the sides of two of my CSX locos. Both AC4400CWs. Another prefix for the loco can be:

CW44-9AC
CW44AC
CW44-8AC

........well, don't know 'bout the third one, but at least I think it's there because there is a CW60-8AC for AC6000CW.

[Anonymous]

I don't expect to catch up, I was just doing it as a joke.

[alstom]

Well don't go around doing that or people will think you're a star chaser!

[Anonymous]

Alright, I'll remember that.

There's a C44-9W at my LHS that says AC4400CW...but that doesn't make it an AC44.

It's CSX too...number 9037. I've also seen GP38-2's with GP38 markings or with GP40-2 markings.

[alstom]

YAY, tomorrow, I'm going to Sebring, Ohio to go to a rr club's annual meet open house! It has an 164 x 40' layout! Not bad.

[Anonymous]

Thats actually a pretty nice size model railroad.

[alstom]

Yeah, but it is Conrail and ATSF (not saying they're bad), but I would like to see some CSX and NS + currentness! LOL

[Anonymous]

Nah, ATSF and UP now that's a kick***combo right there.

[alstom]

Yeah, but it is ATSF and 'Conrail' . Now I know everyone misses Big Blue including me, but Conrail just gets old after a while (I'm not offending anyone, so please don't take this seriously).

[Anonymous]

True, true, but there is one person that don't miss "the Big Blue''.
