They gave me an email address so I can contact them if I feel like I was banned in error. So ofcou...

HO scale Roadbed

With more work beginning on my layout this summer, the time has come to lay roadbed. This question has probably been posted here before but I'll ask again.

When ever i stop by McGrew Yard (which isn't very often) there is always a GP tied up on the north end of the yard. Is this the power they would normally use for D737?
