Re: GP40-2W

With many other railroads purchasing the ex-CN units this should be a popular model!

Where has Gregg been?

Some of you have probably noticed Gregg is not here as much as he used to be. He may not like it that I'm telling you because he's such a humble person but he's been practicing to be a super hero. See the video for a documentary of his training program...

Re: Corrupt a Wish

Granted, things go so well that the rebuild the house so Chris can build his dream layout complete with three levels. But to corrupt this his new layout experiences an electrical problem and it takes him a year to find out he forgot to plug it in... :lol:

Re: Musketawa RR

Nice Bob. Don't forget the power plant near North Yard as a possible new customer. They would get 120 or so car unt trains couple times a week (don't have my notes in front of me but I think that's what it could be). And Bay could get newsprint, 10-11 cars per week. And in my little world Gerbers re...

Re: GLC NOrth of Cadillac

Oh yeah, for anyone who is keeping track those pole cars were lettered for the WC.
I like to see where the cars are from. I'm wondering where the cement cars are coming from now that Dundee's plant is closed and I'm hoping that they get more by rail since it doesn't originate on the AA anymore.
