Deano, did you ever get to see the pics I posted in last weeks thread?

Many great shots so far, but I think my favorite is the construction scene! Here is a pic my dad took of me holding my son, next to BN-1 at IRM. I love this loco, and want to model it. This is actually only one part of an A-B-A lashup

Josh, looks great to me!

Gary, as is true with everyone else, you are being hard on yourself. Everything looks good to me! I never even bothered masking my tracks or roadbeds, but I think I will after seeing these pics (whenever I get to work on my layout again)

TN, you are right, United is a moving company, and you can clearly see clothes scattered around

Guess what! I found the Indiana video! YouTube - Watch out for that TRAINS???

This happened fairly close to where I live (I'm about 30mi west of Chicago), and saw it on the news last night. I feel bad for the children in this incident, but I hope that she stays alive in the hospital just long enough to realize what happened before she dies. On a side note, I have my...

I have a similar pic, but I think I only got the first 2 units in mine

The details in the scenery and on buildings, the way scenes are blended together, has to have SOME plausibility to the scenes, maybe a nice little story behind the layout (not how/why its built, but a ficitonal story about the railroad, the towns, etc). Stuff along those lines

I'm the Polar Express

No, definitely not a fair comparison, I agree. The turbines were two seperate units together to make 166ft, and sure they made 10,000hp, but they weren't true diesel engines. So that is why I agree that the DD40 is the longest and most powerful diesel

Josh! Thank you! Go see the picture fun thread for another pic of that same engine, taken Mon by me

I know of someone who will LOVE these!

The guy at IRM I was talking to said the only other one is owned by UP (who else?) and is located in Cheyenne, WY. I thought he was talking about the one they have on display next to the bigboy. How big were the Turbines? I thought the plaque said they were 166ft, and had 10,000hp, or are you...

I do miss it though

I did get a few pics of the DD40, but have not had a chance to get them out of the camera yet

Oh, I was at IRM on Mon, and got to see half of the currently existing DD40s! Man was I excited to see and get some pics of it!

hey Deano, remember me? I also like UP, but my current layout is mainly BN. I did give it a fictional setting in the northern half of IL, so I could essentially get away with running UP and its properties, BNSF and properties, Metra, Amtrak, EJ&E, you get the picture

I have things I could be doing, with the supplies I already have, or with things found outside. But like I said, I don't have my layout at the new house *yet?*

Lynn, love the progress you've made over the last 6mos since I was here last
