NICE !!, try running it with all it's lights on, and your house lights off, then it's reallyGot my first DCC freight locomotive: a Walthers Mainline SD60M BNSF patched Burlington Northern locomotive (also my first six axle locomotive). Quite nice (especially for $70 off) and seems to run very nicely so far. The horn sounds pretty cool!

Back in the olden days of yore, Walthers offered grabiron kits for their Mainline locomotives. If they still do, it would be a relatively easy project to install them, and dress that engine up further.Got my first DCC freight locomotive: a Walthers Mainline SD60M BNSF patched Burlington Northern locomotive (also my first six axle locomotive).

You are correct sir. Nickname of the Fort Worth & Denver.Ok, that is a new one to me. Is "The Denver Road" another name for the Fort Worth & Denver?
Ok cool. That makes it all fit. For those that don't know The NP and GN jointly owned CB&Q which in turn owned the Colorado Southern which in turn owned the Forth Worth and Denver. An old Texas law that stated a railroad operating in Texas had to be Incorporated in Texas. Hence all the different sounding names for railroads in Texas. The name changed as the rail crossed the state line.You are correct sir. Nickname of the Fort Worth & Denver.
