UP is also rebuilding 844. Both 844 and 4014 should be running by late 2016 or mid-late 2017. And 614 could run, there are plenty of capable lines (NS and the NJT) and 614 is in fair condition to be put through what could be a swift rebuild, however, Ross Rowland is more interested in his luxury train affairs.

Both C&T and the D&SNG are extremely good lines and it's a blessing that both have such great fleets of D&RGW narrow gauge locos and stock.
In the United States it's the Norfolk Southern Railway.
Same here, looking forward to a big ol' Mallet being in service.
Just remember, the 1309 will be receiving a "Wild Mary" treatment and disguised as a Western Maryland 2-6-6-2 (odd because you know...they didn't have those...well it's loosely like the USRA 2-6-6-2 so it's not entirely odd). The hooter is staying I believe though.

I know some people who use that, if I didn't live about 3-4 hours from serious Class I mainline I'd use that a lot.
More stuff!
Reading and Northern 425 (ex-Gulf, Mobile & Ohio 425 for those that don't know) received a new paint job back in the summer, it's really grown on me. 👍
Not a bad shot at all. 👍Here is (surprisingly) the only rail work I've done. Honestly I should have a lot more due to the line that runs near my house (about a mile away) which I'll probably start doing sooner or later..

It's the only train model I have..
Hey that second unit (on the left next to that red white and blue unit) is painted in the old "Empire Builder" Great Northern scheme!Next time we should meet
I don't know anything about trains that are not in our (my work) inventory, can't remember how I learned about NOHAB, but they have beautiful locos.
...
I've seen some of those locos in "War Bonnet" Santa Fe paint too.

Doing some light digging, you're spot on, they're just called the "NS Class 1200".That makes it even cooler!
Ooh nice! We had a loco that looked even closer to that:
Even the colors are close.
They were built starting in '51, while the British Rail Class 55's were built beginning in 61' @ECGadget. (shown on Erie #853)
I know.. Also with the light rail driving there, not a safe place to walk. My hometown station just got rebuilt totally.Doing some light digging, you're correct actually, they're just called the "NS Class 1200".
I love the bogies on that Class 1200 electric, they're almost exactly like ALCo PA-1 bogies.
Wanna go from Brussels to Amsterdam in 5 minutes?
(the first pic is from the mid 70's but that's basically what it looked like until they finished the renovation last year)

I see! And didn't they originally came from the US?
Denver has some weird looking stuff that always involves tent like things....It looks...interesting to say the least.
That transformation reminds me of Denver Union Station...quite the transformation.
Yes they did! From the Baldwin Locomotive Works!
