    Well, that is sort of the plan. I bet they will accept any donations to that end. (y)

    I do think both are former Canadian road locos or at least MLW builds.

    Chattahoochee Valley 100 (an S-2) as seen at West Point, GA in August 1998. I think she's since been scrapped. The CHV was a textile-hauling road owned by West Point Pepperell and was shut down in 1992.

    Former ATSF 2350, an S2. The Texas Railroading Heritage Museum is trying to find a new home for it as there is not enough space at the new site being prepared in Tomball, Texas. The Rosenberg RR Museum was going to take it but does not have the funds to move it or a place to put it right now. So if you can provide it with a good home, come and get it. ;)

    We actually got the prime mover to start a few year ago.

    Man I love Alco's! I will need to find someone who does painting and detailing for n scale locomotives. In the near future I would like to get me an Alco century and have a what if paint job done.

    Amen to that!:cool:

    Those ex-CN FPA-4s are gorgeous. It's amazing how a model that sold only to CN wound up in all sorts of short lines, tourist railways and other assorted jobs all over the continent.
