Is that HO or O scale?<br><br>I am into 3-rail O-scale 1:48 (commonly known as &quot;hi-rail&quot.<br><br>

 

I like N scale. I get more of everything in a smaller area. Those two Engines sure look nice.

Those are pretty nice Hoss! <br>I have always liked the color on the SD70MAC's. (I think the scheme was called Cookies-n-Cream?)<br>Im still getting used to the Heritage I colors. <br><br>I am waiting on my order of 2 Overland Brass Union Pacific 4-8-4.<br>(And yes Hoss, They will be DCC).

He has a CN Rail locomotive that is a collectors item up here.

Even some of the original CP Rail caboose cars.

Im pretty excited about them. These two will be my first Brass engines. I have several of their Rivarossi and Bachman counter parts, but up to now, no Brass.

I had (may still have(?)) some old Canadian National cars. I've never modeled anything but South Western U.S. and had little use for CN or CP equipment. I gave some stuff away long ago and I think the CN/CP equipment was in that box.

Rich.

<br><br><br>I can absolutely agree with that! <br>Its for that very reason all my previous purchases have been Rivarossi or Bachman.<br>But I thought, I'd give Brass a try. <br>Rich

 

Good luck...and keep me posted on the progress.

All this just reminds me of work. I see the real stuff every day. Have been working for UNION PACIFIC RAIL ROAD CO. for 18 yrs now. It's a living.
