2 EMD Switchers
1 Baldwin Switcher

But! Now I just got a BroadwayLimited E-7 Empire Builder and all the rest is in need of conversion...without sound it just doesn't cut it any more. Sound makes for realistic operation. I can hardly wait to get my next unit. I've created a monster! Now if I just had money! tholcapn Port Townsend, WA

Life Like and Bachmann products. Retired because they basically self destructed after several years.

briggs- Love your tag line!

I am a fellow N-scale Norfolk & Westerner, although I do model a fictional Class 2 road which was recently merged into the NW family. Time frame is 1971. Fictional road is the Winchester, Paston & Portsmouth, crossing the state of VA north to south until its main between Front Royal and Richmond was abandoned by NW management. I model the remaining coal-mining portion west of Winchester (yeah, I know, this corner of West Virginia is, in fact, the only part of the state that does not have a single operating coal mine! My fiction assumes that a coal seam *was* found in the Potomac South Branch Valley).

With two major roads (I throw in some B+O, Pennsy, WM, and Southern for spice), I am taking the opportunity to exhibit very different attitudes towards motive power and paint schemes.

My NW roster is looking more and more authentic for 1971 NW, comprised of several SD-35's and SD-45's, one or two SD-40's, and multiple GP-9's and GP-18's, as well as a prized pair of high-nosed GP-30's. I still need to work on a GP-35 or two. Supplementing this are a few novelty Alco's, such as an RSD-12 (ex-NKP), a pair of RS-3's, and a special T-6 kitbash. I have a few units from the other merged roads, like a Wabash U-boat, in order to give GE some representation.

My fictional road is an Alco lover, as I am. They tried out some F-3's and E-7's when they deiselized, but found that as a small road they much preferred Alco's RS-1. They bought FA-1's and FA-2's to compare to the EMD units, and then skipped a generation due to financial hardship. Thus, the next Alco they bought into was the RS-11, and they did so in a big way; I've got about 5 of these. Their final locomotive was the RSD-15, with a high nose due to NW's influence over the board of directors; this is my favorite locomotive. I own more than 5, though I can't be specific because I've just been collecting shells and defunct units off Ebay, intending to repower them eventually.

Just for grins, I own a brass NW Class J, a RivaRossi Class Y6b, and a Con-Cor Hudson (in WPP paint), along with a BL-2 lettered for Florida East Coast, in honor of my dad who hails from Jacksonville.

I know it's a diverse set of railroad companies I have, it's for a reason.
As my signature states, I'm modeling the CPR with a side of the MEC, I just wanted to have a good mix of railroad locomotives so I won't get bored with the same thing day in & day out. I've been able to include an interchange for the MEC but I've also been able to include another interchange for the other railroads as well.
I have 4 more units on order, Athearn's VIA's P42, Proto 1000 B&M RDC3, & 2 Proto 2000 D&H PA's

Okay, but don't laugh.


Most are lettered for my home road Maritime (MARI). Active or nearly so:

2 Athearn MARI SW7s (w/ PPW motors)
2 Athearn MARI F7A (1 GSB repower / 1 dummy)
1 Athearn MARI F7B (dummy)
1 RPP MARI CF7 (GSB power)
1 Walthers MARI GP15T (powered)
1 Athearn MARI SDF40-2 (Sagami repower)
1 Athearn MARI FP45 (dummy)
2 Athearn MARI U30C (1 NWSL repower / 1 dummy)
1 Athearn Guilford U30C (dummy)
1 P2K DRGW PA1

In the shop or inwork and not even close to being active. All of these will be MARI:

1 SD40-2 (prob power)
1 SD40 (prob dummy)
1 F59PHI (power)
1 FP45 (dummy)
1 E8 (prob power)

Then some other cats and dogs that probably will never be active again or are for collector value only that I won't mention.

ALCO PA-1AC - yes there is a story for that
ALCO FPA-1 Commuters - the workhorse of the Selenian Commuter Lines
EMD SW series - enough mice to handle any transfer and still cover the coachyards
EMD E8 - running the OCS brass with style
