I recently purchased a good camera to take some good pictures and thought I would start out with a loco I don't often see too many people using. I purchased the loco in 1980 and thought it was the greatest thing then. I wondered what it would like doing some work, so I set it up for some pictures. I went ahead and took some pictures of some of my other locos also. They're set up at the address below. They're all taken at about the same place on the layout, but I think you'll like them anyhow. Let me know what you think. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1434042&a=10759460 ------------------
Umm i'm not being facetious or anything, but did the SP actually have any of those beasts? I guess i could do a quick search...

Nice pictures on your site, thomas. SO what kind of camera did you get? Harold ------------------ Harold Hodnett Fan of NS, CSX, and their predecessors! Coming soon: The North Carolina Railfan Web Site http://www.trainweb.org/ncrail/
The camera I bought is a Minolta St/si with a lens at 28-80 witha macro for close ups. When I was shopping around I actually took my dash-9 with me to see how it would appear in the view finder. When the salseman showed me the macro adjustment and I looked through the viewfinder, I knew I had found what I was looking for.

This page should answer any questions about them: http://espee.railfan.net/spu50.html They were really, uh, um, "interesting" looking units! Paul #3 ------------------ Have A Nice Day!
You need to get rid of those silvered trucks and weather it until it's filthy to get it to really look Espee.

I agree with Moose, I love the look of the U50's (both versions). But preferably in Union Pacific paint A friend had some brass ones in O scale, and they looked superb! ------------------ Alan Curtis. Moderator.
