Thx dingoix. The stUPid engine is a SD70M and it is a NS train. Yes the BNSF unit is a GEVO unit. The benchwork is sturdy. aclguy2000 I didnt get your email. Can you send another one?

I'm hoping to get DCC in 5 years but i could get it as soon as next year. I like MRC's prodigy express DCC system. Thanks, i might just have to use one of your pics- if you want you can use my sig pic for your site- i'lll post a direct link http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/4589/ewriforeignillinoiscentral1037.jpg -My DTO order shoud have shipped by now- i hope it's here in a week.-- i have a question about the BNSF pics on your site- because there's a stUPid engine behind it is it a BNSF train or a stUPid train? It looks like the stUPid engine is an SD75M and the BNSF has to be an ES44DC or ES44AC.

I'll get the BNSF new logo SD40-2's and maybe a cascade green BN and simply patch the BN logos and leave it green.(for an IC unit)

[icmr]

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

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)

[icmr]

Waltersrails, what time do you have on the SF train?



Victor

[icmr]

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.
