Apparently Jay Leno likes "Big Boy"......

I can only dream that someone would make a Alco C855 in our modern day production of locomotive models that is not brass. I have Bowser C630s and love it! Got #2905 and #2909.

Wow she sure is! Love that scheme and of course I love Alcos! PS - I have a few Guilford locos....Alcos :cool: look in my YouTube link.......you might even see my buddy's Alco's .....

Ken, I follow a guy named Daryl Cruse on YouTube. He built from scratch using JMRI for all of his signal systems and did a couple of videos of his layout etc. explaining how it all works for him. Maybe he can shed some light for you. His layout is very large and impressive...

I agree too but phone videos are good if they hold it in "Landscape" format (side ways or hold phone on side versus holding it upright......that "Portrait" format sux.

Ya I wish he would too. He added a lot to this forum. I learned a ton from him and Mark (he passed away). He did exceptional work. His seller handle on ebay is "wheelstrains". Currently he has nothing listed but every now and then he will put something up.

Noooo just a caboose!

Karl- I have not heard from him in a few years now. I know he is doing ok and alive and kicking. He has been selling HO scale stuff on ebay of his works. His works has taken to doing NASA equipment and the like. Terry- bnsf971 probably has been in touch with him or even Rico. I used to...

TomO I will check my archives photo external hard drive. I may have something for you. I actually had 4 SP switchers done by Jerome Wheeler years ago and we did extensive research on pictures on the switchers he did for me. When I get home tonight I will check. In the office today (on...

A little Bulletin Update: Wow! I think management has taking this long hiatus a bit too far! Word has it the owner and prez of JR's UPPR has been gallivanting off with a new someone in his life. So far pretty darn good but a lot of the time that management usually has went sideways and...

Actually may look better when you add more weathering. Kinda cool looking I have to admit.

Ya....... I was like really?

Yup it is good one to have I have this one also! Here's the prototype.... So this was SP's desert storm locomotive, but the state of California made them use a special kind of paint that basically falls apart with moisture. For those that may not know, SP7319 and a host of other SD40R's...

After reading everyone's thoughts and opinions. I still fall in the middle. Currently when I purchase a new locomotive there's a 95% chance it will have sound. Is it necessary? Nope. I have many DCC non sound units and I am good with that as well. I do not plan on changing them either. My...
