SW120RS

I'm only posting this rather poor quality picture (link) because it shows most of the things that made this little engine unique and one of my favourates in N Scale...and I hope in G Scale too.

See the number boards, trucks, bell, spark arrestors, window extensions, radiator covers, rerailers etc.

These are great looking locomotives http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif Pity I cannot justify one on a southern California based layout http://www.trainboard.com/frown.gif

My first contact with north American railroads was in Canada, Toronto - Sarnia, and we saw some of these. I thought then that they would make very interesting models http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

The perfect combination - BNSF and N Scale!

I have to agree, Dave. The flexi-coil trucks would be a sticking point, though, in N. Still, there is plenty of detail to add (and all available) to keep the eye well and truly busy.

The really great thing to be said about N Scale, and I had a number of layouts over 25 years, is that an engine, and everything else, is usually viewed from "a hill about 200 feet away". Go outside, measure that off, and check out the detail you can see. Even on a "known" object like your car.

Keep the top silhouette close. Forget the trucks. N Scale is all about creating a much larger scene.

Enjoy
