Well, let's see how good my memory is tonight...
- Lionel Veranda turbine
- Trix Big Boy
- Rivarossi Challenger
- P2k Alco FA/FB set
- Genesis SD70M
- Overland SD-40-2 #3300, "UP pulling for United Way" scheme
- A lotta freight cars
That's all I can conjure up without actually going downstairs and taking a peek...
Oooh I think I can actually answer this one:
Athearn SD40-2, Athearn GP40 (boxed set)Athearn SW7 (dummy)Proto 2000 E6B
UP is one road name that doesn't hang around the round house too long. Anything that comes in yellow paint is an immediate candidate for the paint shop.
I run strictly diesel locomotives. My layout leans more towards the SP but since the merger I started running some UP stuff but now wish I hadn't done that. I got it into my head that I'll have to eventually change everything to UP to keep up with the times but now I'm leaning strongly to changing it all back to SP only. The harbor mist gray and armor yellow doesn't do anything for me like the scarlett red and SP gray does...Anyway, I own:
2 AC4400CW's
2 GP38-2's
1 GP 50
1 70MAC
in UP colors ...chuck
I have one:
Atlas (older) GP40-2 #912
This engine made the transition from my old MoPac merger era layout to my new BNSF 2000 era layout. I have an interchange with UP and #912 switches the UP side of the interchange yard.

Back then, UP sported some really unique passenger trains with their early diesels. Oh, PS: I only have one UP steamer--a "Sports Model" 4-8-2 in Challenger Colors, from BLI. Neat loco, but it's DC/DCC and since I'm DC, it takes WAY too much power to get moving. Read the name dudeTom Read the name dude

UnionPacificNut:
My apologies, I didn't realize by shortening your forum nickname that I'd insulted you. Still like to see a photo of the E-2 you scratched.
Oh, and PS: At 67 I think I'm a little old to be called a 'Dude', don't you think? Besides, that moniker isn't even used in High School, anymore.
