In my N-scale Division Yard I am using an Atlas high-nose SD9 done-up in <br />Escanaba & Lake Superior/ex-Reserve Mining livery (I took a trip to Crivitz, Wis. <br />about 9 years ago to photo the E&LS, and surprisingly enough I was able to <br />find an undec. Atlas unit at a hobby shop in Oshkosh, mixed-up a perfect match <br />for the colors and found near-perfect numeral and lettering decals and it turned- <br />out fantastic - again, surprisingly enough). I didn't add any additional structural <br />details as I wanted to quit while I was ahead. <br /> <br />I've found that unit crawls extremely well and has lots of pulling power so I like <br />using it in my yard to switch long cuts of cars for several years now. <br /> <br />I'm wondering just how plausible it would be for a REAL railroad set in say <br />the late 1980's-early 1990's to employ that type of locomotive in yard duty? <br />
