I think we need to check with the ref here, but I don't think SW1500 = SW1200... :p

Cp gp38-2 3043.

Similar vintage, similar neigbourhood... DT&I 957 in Detroit in 1961.

Charlie, That was shot in 1963, by my buddy the late Karl Bury. I'm not sure what that thing is, whether it's a motorized cart or a cart with something on it... :)

D&TSL 50, their last diesel a GP7. Lang, OH.

Sarge, If that's the case, if at some point, the building will be all yours, I'd suggest that you thing about building a switching layout along the one wall, and once you have clear title to the rest of the space, think about expanding into a longer mainline with areas for turning around. I...

TB, You're welcome. I have a few more pix if you're interested. I was thinking of modelling it, it's one of about a hundred things on my 'round 'tuit list. ;)

OK, I've laid your room out in XtrkCad, and I have some questions. 1) Do you really need to access both doors? Is this some local ordinance, or you're driving your ride'em lawnmower through, or it's the grandkids right-of-way or something? 2) Why are you putting the layout on the window...

Sgt Carl, I'm inclined to agree with NKP. With the restrictions you've set on size and space use, you're either looking at a switching layout, or going N scale. Most long locos and passenger cars are only happy on 24" radius curves, 22" if you use easements. They also need #6 turnouts...

GTW ballast hopper 86036

I was looking for this pic at the time this thread was current... I'm not sure if the tower was built by CN or by the Wabash... since it was on the Canada Air Line (later CN Cayuga sub) at Aylmer ON. But it's a nice, modelable size.

N&W 3671 (nee Wabash 671, from the Canadian division).

How about a former MILW unit? SDL39 #585? *EDIT* nee MILW 585. (Not trying to change the theme, but we didn't get many Milwaukee units north of the border, eh?)

Bob, I used the original CV tie strips years ago. They looked really good, but you either had to glue the rail down (I never found a satisfactory method) or pre-drill the ties to accept the spikes, as the plastic was very hard, and I couldn't just shove a spike through them without it bending...

Rob, If you follow this link in the second of your links, you'll see that #103 is stuffed and mounted, and that the resto group is looking to bring her up to snuff for static display. Sad, but on the whole, there are too few Canadians with deep enough pockets willing to finance full operating...

Cn sd70i 5619

GAH! I think we should award bonus points for non-UP pictures! :p

CR SD60I 5581 at Guelph Jct, ON.

Is AMT FP7 1306 close enough to an F7? It's only 4' longer... :p

So does that make mine "just another" F-unit?
