A sampling of 3rd Rail / Sunset Locomotives. Not all the greatest photos as many are off my cell phone.
EMD FT from 2014: The logo on the nose is made from etched brass to replicate the bronze plate that adorned the prototype.
Jonathan, I really like this Santa Fe set (early FT's). Always, thought the paint scheme really stood out, maybe it was the slight big of red, I don't know, but it seems like the as delivered schemes usually are to my liking. Thanks for sharing.

Charlie,

Thanks for your comment. There is a funny story about this ABBA set in that when the FT was being produced there wasn't really a road that stood out to me, but I knew I was interested in a set. This paint scheme jumped out at me the most. After receiving the set, my interest in the ATSF in general began. Now I even belong to the historical society. The ATSF in now my favorite road east of the Mississippi.
