    These two were originally SP 9236 and Cotton Belt 9399. Also had 9238 and 9259 which were sent to the IR because of the 20 cylinder engines. And also have 5387, ex DRGW. I sure miss the 20 cylinder engines......much better then the 16's for these grades. Ever since they were shipped off travel time has increased between Gadsden and Birmingham.

    Those were just what I was looking for, thanks. Does your model of 9238 have your black hat being waved out the right hand window. as I remember seeing in an earlier YT video?

    Yes, several new ideas for Muir Trestle and Franklin Canyon. Also looking at starting Richmond Yard since I finally have the double SP mains done. :)

    Here's a look at the Trainmaster so far. New 5 chime horn, train number 171 in number boards, Sunshades, wind deflectors, Engineer, wipers, and commuter plow. Still going to add the large 'SP' on the nose and MU hoses. The plow is not an exact match, but better then the Atlas straight plow and good enough for me. Trainmaster 3025 also had two sealed beam headlights on the bottom light. May try to do that later. :)

    But for now I think it looks just fine pulling loaded commuters coaches. :)

    All my two tone commuter coaches now have passengers. Most are just 100 for $2 cheap figures with a detailed one thrown in here and there for effect.

    All cheap figures and one detailed lady with purse waving. Little things just break up the uniformity of the cheap figures and trick your eye into seeing them all as detailed.
