I do like the Lackawanna unit, but Lackawanna EMD units don't look right without the 'beer belly' larger fuel tanks http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1168537

 

Fran speaking of American prototypes was it you that asked me to take some pics of the Details West air dryer filters. My daughter took the camera today as it was her last day in primary school and the memory stick is full. I will take some pics after she gets her prints over the weekend.

 

Rich,

I was thinking Pat that with the maroon band and the gold stripes in the position that they are on the side of the loco it would look good in IE orange and black.

 

Rich,

 

It wouldn't be far off the old Great Northern Railroad colour scheme then, would it? http://www.gnrhs.org/CON4.JPG

Nothing wrong with the loco in that pic at all, Fran! :)

Famed youtuber NSModeller24 (check out his channel, superb layout and detailing going on!) heavily modified some Tower 55 ES44DCs to represent the latest Gevo's in heritage paints and posed them with the real thing. Check out the pics here and how he modified the locos here

 

Also, nice video of the Reading ACe at the big bash

Well after much resisiting I succumbed to picking one of these locos up. Sound, shipped to Ireland and taxes paid it worked out slightly less than a 201. It was too good a deal to turn down and a chance to see how MTH stacks up. Looking forward to giving her a run and see how she sounds
