This might be a silly question, but what's in the tank cars...and can we drink it?
ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
The "Crown Royal Whiskey Train" refers to the historic 1939 Royal Tour of Canada, where King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were gifted the first blend of Crown Royal whiskey, which was stocked on their royal train, making it famous and launching its legacy as a premium Canadian whiskey. While there isn't a regular public Crown Royal-themed train today, the brand's origin is deeply tied to trains, with its distillery in Gimli, Manitoba even having its own railway to ship whiskey, and special promotional tours.
Okay I don’t know how accurate the following is, but it’s likely pretty close…
With the same description here are the results.
The important thing is to have a very good description of what you want.

I wonder if the number plate above cab was replaced. Last time i saw this unit was in Baltimore several months ago and someone apparently snagged one number plate from the front.Norfolk Southern : NS8102 ( Pennsylvania Heritage ) - ES44AC

The Swiss was having the same problem when they started scraping out some of the older Re 4/4 II locomotives. Thieves were stealing the Swiss Graubünden shield from the front of the locomotives.

I could understand if the locomotives were about to be scrapped, unless Swiss Rail planned to take them off and sell them at an auction. Here such auctions by the railroads are rare, and a lot of reflectors, builder plates and other small parts have been saved that way instead of going into the oven. The T1 duplex locomotive which is being built currently from scratch will have an original horn because a few individuals took time to rescue them from locomotives sitting in a scrap yard. The Pennsylvania Railroad T1 duplex for those not familiar with it, is completely extinct, and it was really the high point of steam locomotive building art immediately after WW II.

I was having a bit of fun creating a winter scene with AI
This photo is as is from my layout. I turned on my RGB LED blue lights in my dim lit basement. It looks like a frosty late autumn run.

Good looking scene. I’ve been playing with a number of Ai programs. Which one are you using?

Those MLW ALCo M636 are some of the most handsome six axle diesels around. Thankfully at least one is being used by Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad in Scranton area, not too far from where i live:

Those are "Handsome" looking locomotives. Neat clean lines and tasteful paint colors.

Thanks. I asked the 3 I’ve played with the same question or ask them to winterize a scene and each are very different. It’s a fun tool still not ready for prime time though

AI can't reproduce catenary very well. See over the top of the driving cab and forward of that.
