a picture a day....

Out in Alliance NE. These SD70 mac's have been sitting since last year.  About 80 of them all together.  BNSF must be fazing them out. Poor things. 

Love the old faded MAC. One of my favorites. Nick T.

That is definitely Sad, I think the issue is Tier 4 emission restrictions. EMD themselves have only been making the SD70's for international Railroads. I believe they were in the works or finished an SD70ACe-T4 which hopefully will make these units future upgrades and not scrap yard food. I know UP has a few of the new T4 engines on order.

Love the photos though! Looks like those SD70's go on forever lol

P.S. Being a lifelong resident of sections of the USA (the Northeast and Midwest) where foliage is abundant, I have made it a practice, on my layout, and when crafting for others, of not being skimpy with trees and low foliage (and everything in-between)…!

Southern Pacific West Oakland Ca. Yard. Don

For today. 

Finally got the bridge up and wired, track is wired as well. Now to the fun part, scenery! Lol I'm quite nervous as I've never done this before but my local hobby shop (Ready to Roll in Miami, FL) has given me a ton of advice and pointers so I think I'm in good hands. Also got a MTH Premier CSX ES44AC from them this week. Here are a few shots of the roster and progress.

Thanks for looking!

P.s. Ceramic buildings are not here to stay lol looking for a box to store them in for Christmas, a coworker was going to throw them out and they were perfect for me new house and kids

I took both of these this evening...

I've always wondered if someone took (a model of) one of these 'B' units alone on the front of their train on a layout and waited for anyone to notice the lack of a cab?

Heck, you could always make a decal like the old 'radio equipped' markings on diesels and put down, "DCC equipped" instead?

All three of their "Little Joe's" in one shot of the South Shore Line. This is the Michigan City Yard. Boy those pantographs don't have to reach very far on a interurban line. Don

spotted this painting in a Columbus Ohio hotel we stayed at this weekend

Experimented with some close ups this afternoon

Fabulous, P51/Lee. They show what can be done with carefully applied imagination and a good memory.
