All I can say is I have admiration for those guys (and any of you blokes) standing at the front of a locomotive like that giving signals to the Engineer That's Railroading!
Andre a great reply to my question I learn something everyday about American Railroads and I have been modelling them for 50 years.
I hope in the future I can ask more questions here on the OGR Forum it's the only forum I take part in.
