Engine on a flatcar!

[McFortner]

I saw this on a siding near the NS Training center in McDonough, GA after I got off work. Fortunately, I had my new "cheapo" digital camera with me and managed some good shots of it. This could be good to model. First time I've seen an engine shipping like this.

Send pictures of the load you model when it is in completed form.

I came upon an auction last week (ended now) for a Prime Mover V16. I was actually going to do the same thing had I won it

Walthers makes an EMD 567 engine in kit form.

Are you sure that's not the new crew-less, cab-less "no-frills" engine...? It is at the front of the train...!

Now that you mention it, the NS Training center does have remote operated engines....

I wonder how much Athearn or Atlas would charge for an "engine"?sign1 For a cheap digital camera, those are some good pictures. I use a Sony FD-100 only 1.2MP!! A friend has a 5.0MP and claims my Sony is still better!

Have a good day,
