I am sure that the regular visitors to this forum already know about this, but since I just found it and am so excited about it, I had to share http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif...in case there MIGHT be somebody who does'nt already know about this RR resource http://www.trainboard.com/wink.gif!!

It is called QStation and has lots of prototype info, history, modeling info, links etc. for several railroads (ATSF is a big one). Go to http://www.qstation.org
then hit their ATSF resources button. WOW!! One link gave me a list of ALL diesels ever used by the Santa Fe, when they were manufactured, by whom, and what their road numbers through the years were http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif. Incredible stuff!! Happy researching!!

I've definately got it under "favorites." They allowed me to research in one evening what would have taken about a year without all of the resources in one spot. So this is what prototype modeling is all about!! So much for free freelancing!!
