Early 1990's BN roster with a few others.
1 GP38-2 BN
1 GP15-1 BN
1 Switcher, I think SW1500 that never really existed BN (Rd #372. No locomotive in the BN fleet was numbered 372.)
1 GP40-2 BN
1 GP50 partially BN (not finished painting)
1 F7A BN
1 F7B BN
1 AMD 103 Amtrak
1 F7A Amtrak
2 Central of Georgia locos of unknown models, one by Life Like and I think the other is by Atlas. I am hoping to get some SD40-2's soon, hopefully Kato.

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

I have 16 but I am now looking at getting rid of all the later (chronologically) ones because I have settled on 1947, and am going over to DCC. The reason is that the 12-14 car Empire Builder was still being pulled by my pair of BLI E-7 A's. They changed to ABA and sometimes ABBA FT's or F3's in '49 and relegated the E units to lesser trains. For freight I have an ABBA set of Stewart FT's that I am converting to DCC/sound. And I have a BLI NW-2 switcher on order. I may keep some of the others for the diesel shop and service tracks, like my Baldwin switcher, and 2 GP7's.
