Fox River Valley Rolls Again

[railohio]

Okay, so I haven't done any actual modeling yet this summer, but I did buy something. That's more than I've done for quite a few months now.

This is my brand-new Atlas SD24 painted for Fox River Valley and factory-equipped with a Lenz DCC decoder. There's a great essay by Dave Ingles on the road in the May '94 issue of Trains magazine that sums up the FRV's short life. Since my layout is designed to be a generic Midwest branchline I thought the FRV would fit in nicely. Hope you guys enjoyed seeing something a bit out of the ordinary and I hope I can post more photos of the unit in action on my upcoming layout soon!

Hi Brian, that's a handsome looking unit, but it needs some dirt on it, to look perfect
We'd be interested to hear more about your plans for your FVR layout and the FVR itself.

WOW now THATS nice, I've been tempted in the past to model the 2 SD24's they had, just after WCL took over. But now I might just buy two to have them like that!
