I saw CEFX #3124 today. It was on the train you told me about after school. That SF was probably the same one. We didnt do much at Wes's tonight. Bob was there.

Lots of stufff happened today-
-Got the driveshafts in the mail. Put one on. Runs great.
-Both the elec. wires that pickup power on the AC4400 broke and need to be soldered sometime.
-Dad got back from a business trip and brought me a L-L trainset. ToysRus was going out of business and they were on clerence for $55 - figure 8 over/under power-loc track, operating crossing gate, stock pen/ loading station, a few trees, 4 nice freight cars, caboose, and a hi-nose Sane Fe GP38. I was surprised a train-set engine was as nice as it was- the motor appears to be bigger than my old gp38- yes i've called these T-set engines every name in the book but they're not bad at road spped. Some gear noise and they don't run well at very slow speeds but other than that i like it. Watching a train run around a fig8 is almost as much fun as running the big layout. Heck, if i add 2 power-loc turnouts, a package of straight track and it'd be a nice little layout.
- the new Athearn RTR sd40-2's will be out in march now [tup] but i can only get 1 of them that early. (vs. buying 2 at once)

Sounds like you had fun. If I get any of the SD40-2's they will be repainted to IC's Death Star scheme.
