Reply to "Southern RR Fans- PHOTOS"

My MTH SD45 came in a couple of weeks ago. Would not run under Remote Commander; returned to dealer for
a Factory Reset; waiting, hoping.

Very frustrating - and these photos aren't helping - I asked for a proper Southern SD45 for years, finally got
one, and...ran fine in conventional, and the sound is downright spooky-good.

Back in my 20's and 30's I used to drive to work in Mobile up Telegraph Road between the Southern and Frisco yards,
and I'd see these most impressive black locos with great, flaring front-ends, having just brought a train down
from Selma. I didn't know an SD45 from a 45-rpm record in those days (always liked railroading, but at that point I had
FAR more interest in cars and girls; choo-choos - not so much - and I worked for the ICG!) Always thought that
they were very prepossessing, for a diesel.
