Thank you!!
Deano, dude, dial up? Wait, let's not go down that path. I gotta say for all that you contribute here means even more to me now. You, Sir are one of a kind. Which means one of many here on the gauge.
Hummm, I'm not sure that's going to read right but what the hay. Now the stupid question of the year. Is is possible the UPY switchers in your last post could have been here in Anaheim, Ca last year ? I know, I know
What a dumb question, but I feel like I'm starting to relate to these engine like their people
and I know sooooooo little
. Do I need intervention or what?
Joe
Btw, thanks for all the neat info all of you post here on the gauge.

Joe, YOU, MY FRIEND, have just MADE MY DAY:mrgreen: , THANK YOU!:smilie:
i think few people realize what it really takes to keep a thread like this going, and there has been a few times i was ready to just throw the towel in:eeki: (i was close last week
ops: , thank my VERY GOOD FRIEND Wayne"doctorwayne" for stopping me:winki: ). Don't get me wrong, i enjoy doing this thread:thumb: , i like sharing my rail fanning, modeling pics/tips etc., and sharing info, it just seems like a lot at times
ops: . YOUR complement though, WOW, just the shot i needed, THANK YOU!:smilie::smilie:
Now, as for the rest of your post...
UP's MP15DC's were all here at the Harvard Yard from the CNW take over, i have a pic of them as CNW's, BEFORE they were painted in the UP colors....
And here is a pic I took of them AFTER they were repainted:thumb:
Now i am really unsure about the MP15AC, its NEW to the Harvard yard, and i don't know where it came from, i haven't done my home work on this one yet
ops:
FOR THE REST OF YOUR POST...
First, NO question is a dumb question:winki: .
SECOND, i too feel like i know these engines, its like they are old "friends":mrgreen: , i know, send me to the loony bin:119: , but you gotta understand, i rail fan UP's 2 local yards, WSOR's local yard, and ICE's local yard so much, that i have come to know ALL the "Home" engines to these yards, they are kinda like kids:119: , if one of them is gone, i get a worried feeling wondering where it is...
ops: . thats kinda a bad thing though, because if nothing new is in the yard, its got to the point its boring:roller: . What brings life to it all are the "over the road" engines, UP Usually has a nice assortment of HUGE EMD's & GE's to mix things up, and WSOR has an assortment of SD40-2's that i haven't seen much, because they are their "over the rode" engines. ICE, well, not much for over the road engines here in these parts, usually just the same two locals(GP40-2's):roller: .
NO, no, YOU DON'T need an intervention:cry: ....but I DO!:toug::119:
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLEMENT:smilie:
Matt, THANK YOU:mrgreen:
YES, the MP15AC & DC's ARE OUT, you can get them from Atlas and Athearn, BOTH are excellent models, and run well:thumb: . they don't come in the #'s that the engines up here have, but the numbers could be changed:winki: .
Jim, GLAD you liked the GP30 pics:thumb: .
The MP15AC & MP15DC are sharp looking units. Don't see any of them over this way though.
Thank you.:thumb: I will have to go out and get a set. Even though it will not fit into my era I can make an exception.sign1 Now don't faint or anything when I say this.:mrgreen: Might turn one of them from UP to Chessie.sign1 If you do faint, I will have to bucket of water ready this time to wake you back up.:mrgreen:
