AA roster summary

[DT&I]

I was just going to use an "Ann arbor railroad" flag in placment of the logo.

Hmm now Im not sure what this will look like lol cant wait!

Basically those units used the blue/gray/white Wabash colors but substituted their own logo in place of the Wabash's. Here is a photo of one from the Fallen Flags website of it:

Two offical heritage units are now out and about, GP35s 390 and 391 were released this afternoon and the first assignment for this pair is to pull the OCS cars and f7 up to AA for a trip over the HCE.

390 is in "DT&I" inspired paint with the old slogan of the AA (and DT&I) "We Have the Connections"


391 is in the old Wabash inspired colors of the AAs FA-2s, it also has an old slogan of "Follow the Flag" on it.

How much for 4sw1500 and 2gp38

[Ypsi]

we're looking for about 800K for that batch of engines.

[Ypsi]

Because we now have less track and work to do we have down sized, but one engine has been saved from the sale heap and received a special paint scheme in honor of our owners and presidents alma mater.

SW 1500 1849 is now in an "Ypsilanti Braves" paint scheme



This engine will be stationed in the yard at Ypsilanti for any duties that might come up there, also it will be used to switch our business train which has an indoor storage building on the Hillsdale/ Ypsilanti branch. (mp 3 or so on the branch we have a 1500 foot building with 4 tracks in it, so we have a 1550x100 foot building with 4 tracks and about 6000 feet of rail in them. Along with 2 outdoor tracks)

Also AA has purchased a F7B for our business train for added power. our train will be expanded with excess cars that we now have.

Got around to painting the AA F7B

[Pie39]

Do you mind if I use that F40PH scheme on an N scale model? I was thinking about it before, but now I'm settled since I'm getting a crappily painted Amtrak F40 and I plan to use this. Any copyright issues or anything? Just don't want to get sued

[Ypsi]

All good to do so, I don't care just as long as you post photos I would love to see a creation of mine come to life!

I like both of your heritage GP35's
