Im loving this build ....
The Long Island RR is kind of a weird interest of mine ,being from the upper midwest and now living in SC ...
my connections to the LIRR are , I was born and raised in Freeport , IL and ive always wanted to visit Freeport on LI ... and , when my wife and 2 sons received their cochlear implants , in NYC , they lived in Port Jefferson for a few months ..
Im a collector of Fairbank's Morse items ... model and real ...
And , i like the color schemes ...
So , in my midwest based , modern day Museum/Tourist RR , i have some restored FM LIRR power ...
Thank you for sharing your inspirational project !
