Hello to everyone, I am new.

Welcome to the forum, HW!



Certainly. If you're modeling the late-sixties to mid-seventies, several Class I rr's had both on their rosters. For present-day, only the shortlines and regionals have GP9's.

You could do a modified SD9. BNSF actually has a SD9-3. http://railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=198851&nseq=0
I guess it's a glorified SD9

It says "Remote Control Equipped" on the side so I assume it's used in yard service somewhere. Certainly won't be found out on the mainline today. OTOH, I run GP-7's with SD-24's and U30-C's all the time so I'm not one to talk when it comes to prototype faithfulness.

Yes, you will actually, as they've been bumped from that duty by SD39's & 40-2's. Not that BNSF owns any anymore, according to the most recent reports, they've sold them off with the B23-7's/

Boy, I never thought I'd live to see the day that SD40-2's were used for yard service. I guess I'm really starting to show my age.
