    But wait, there's more. Today you can get two steam locomotives for the price of one.

    Caught up with N&W Heritage Unit NS 8103 yesterday in Columbia, SC. It's a GE ES44AC built 02/2012. Blue paint on the N&W was short-lived, prevailing only from 1966 to 1971 when the former Wabash CEO took the helm and adopted a new scheme using a hue somewhat similar to Wabash blue.

    It does not seem to be large engine. Probably a 4-6-0?

    An interesting little scene. That shack and clutter needs someone to model it!

    That Rio Grande Mike is beautiful! All that running gear hanging on the outside must be spectacular in operation...:cool:

    And that little shack and clutter may have found someone to model them...:)
