    Hi Guys, Day late and a Dollar short, but lets make up for it.

    The lack of a couple hundred working SD9043MACs has forced UP to bring a lot of older power back online.

    Here a Dash 8-40C is coming into Roseville Dead in Consist to be worked on and brought up in the shops.

    Meanwhile, a number of the SD59MXs assigned to Roseville have disappeared. Presumably down to Colton. So they are bringing old 3 window SD60Ms back into something that resembles serviceable for locals and turns.

    I took this shot of some old ex SP rent-a-wrecks on the BNSF south of Sealy, Texas in 2006.

    Isn't there usually something behind the screens on those tunnel motors?

    Nothing but air. That is why it is difficult to model those beasts.

    I notice the center section of the hood does not quite match. And the lettering is more faded than the rest. I wonder...?

    Didn't notice that at first, but the lettering and striping do seem to be reflecting differently on the doors. A trick of the light, perhaps?

    How about another image I found of mine of DLRR #3 Fred Gurley coming into New Orleans Square built in 1894 by Baldwin. Celebrating the 120th birthday this year...my personal favorite at Disneyland, love watching this locomotive operate.
