I picked a 1:1 after looking at the first new post, here is one of Ron Nixon's photos in front of the familiar Wyoming Minnesota depot:

Number 328 still lives at the Roundhouse in St. Paul. I have many pictures of this famous engine, also am modelling it for the layout. Unfortunately, the tender fell when moving and I need a couple of those little springs for the tender trucks. It is an old Varney Casey Jones.

The building on the right is still there, a good restaurant called the Cornerstone. It was build around 1910. The depot was demolished several years ago, in a couple stages.

Here's DGNO 3496 at their locomotive facility in Carrollton, TX in March of last year. The SD40-2 entered service in 1979 with BN as #8072. In the back is CFNR 111, a GP15-1 built in 1976 for the CNW.

I finally had time to run some trains today!
The high rail is waiting in the siding to clear the west bound plow extra and give a roll by.
