BNSF 5824, 5804 (ES44ACs) & BNSF 4626 (C44-9W)

I don't have much interest (yet) in US outline but I know many on the site do, so I took 5 minutes to stop off on the commute today to shoot some ad hoc video of BNSF locos that occasionally make me 15 minutes late for work if I hit the wrong R/R crossing! Shot on the spur of the moment in adverse lighting (into bright sunlight) with an iPhone so sorry about the video quality

 

Blooper, so look like I can't upload the video from the Mac directly, so all I can give you is this

Hi Kevin. Interesting.

 

I saw BNSF 3440 a few weeks ago. Black and Tan livery. Managed to get very close to it. Might hook it up with some B&T CIE coaches for a 'knock' special.

Hehehe

I'd never have believed it! It's not your usual flavor of Black'n'Tan for sure

 

I think this B-B switcher (SW1500) is still current, photos of her up to two years ago but mainly in the US Midwest

I remember seeing years ago, long before Worsley Works, Bachmann or Murphy Models came on the scene, seeing a model of a beast like that painted in CIE livery to resemble a 121. You'd be surprised how realistic it looked!

How does that run, Noel? I think the SW1500 is a recommended donor chassis for the MIR 121 kit, iirc. As a connoisseur of centre drive double flywheel motors, would value your opinion on that or a video if possible?
