Thanks. The trio in the second to the last photo are MTH Scale-wheeled C40-8W's. The last one is an MTH Scale-wheeled SD70ACe in what I refer to as an Isle of Denial paint scheme. I think MTH referred to it as a Heritage, but so far __SF hasn't officially posted a heritage scheme set. I figure they'll get on board pretty soon.
Matt thanks again for your reply. I really like those Dash 8 wide cabs. I have 3 of them in CN livery but I bet the Santa Fe is all gone, 
Matt since I also had those Dash8 I was able to work back the numbers and may have a
line on them. I sure hope so. Since 95% of my MTH engines are P2and only 5% are P3 I am ok with these still being P2.

The third engine "to enter our house." Another gift from Gramps, a "Sante Fe Hudson" (my brothers, I borrowed it.... 23years ago)
I borrowed this from by brother too, two years ago, both of us laughing like idiots as I did, both of us knowing full well he wont get it back....... till I die anyhow.

Its not finished yet, but here's a peak..........
Since this video was shot more lights were added, and a modified fan smoke unit belches smoke out the rear, with the flickering l.e.d.s light getting caught in the smoke, it looks like blue flames shooting a 1/2" out the back.
It will pull a Lionel Marvin the Martian / Bugs Bunny rocket launcher, Porky Pig Instant Martian car, two gondolas with operating kitbashed "malfunctioning space machinery", and a one truck, flying saucer/ caboose / f.r.e.d.(which is on the table loop) The paintjob will get some "Mars" green and yellow stripes over the white base. I call it a "Mars the God of War-Bonnet" paintjob.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you,
The curved deck bridge is Bridge Solutions. Both Dash 8-40 BW's are early Atlas 2001. They have been upgraded to EOB drive boards. The Turntable is a Diamond Scale Kit (OT-105) 26.5".

Alan GREAT PICTURE. Your morning sun natural light gives a real "freshness" to your pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Matt well I have 2/3of my quest done. Hope to finish the other 1/3 very soon

Don't you mean 1/2. There's a three-rail dummy available. One of our members was in Florida and brought back a powered/dummy "souvenir pair" with him. If a non-powered scale-wheeled unit was available, I would have grabbed one. I might convert a dummy if I come across one at a good price (if I have that kind of luck I'm buying some lottery tickets.) 
Rich:
Very nice weathering on the C40-8W. I've been thinking about (and somewhat dreading) weathering the warbonnets. "The Apprentice" keeps telling me to go for it now that I halfway know what I'm doing.

Matt I don't buy any non powered engines so I was 2/3 to the goal. Well I am now happy to repot that I am now 100% to the goal. Yesterday I found #'s 800 & 802. Today I found 814. The supply is very skinney these days on these models. Thanks for your help 800 802 814

An ATSF Beep, CF7 and a Slug. From the photo, it looks like the slug is powered. Very impressive work.
Yes the slug is powered. The trucks on the rear of the slug and under the cab of the GP7u are powered. The slugs front coupler and headlights are controled from the ERR DC commander. Also center rail power pickups on the slug go to the DC commander, I have no problems going over switches
Very cool. Thanks again for sharing with us.
The ATSF 3000 shown on the elevated track was not on the layout when you started this thread. It is now doing an excellent job in it's new assignment pulling the Chief shown in this photo. Click on the photo to get full size.

This is another different look at your layout/ Wow a beautiful shot with the Santa Fe on the elevated section, and the excellent paint scheme on the Road Runner . Also the yard with the engines ready to go and the nack side of your new Fabulous terminal building all look AWESOME. Thanks for sharing with usa.
