GE NEVER, but NEVER, unveiled a DD40anything - ElectroMotive were responsible for that particular device, which they built for the Yellow Peril (sorry, the Union Pacific; really not sorry). I've got a brass DD40AX:oops:, and a DD35 booster unit - the 40's going up for sale in the new year, but...

Further Oldies - in the U.K. I've got a number of HO units that qualify: A CB&Q Chinese Red GP30 in a YELLOW Athearn box!; A Lionel GP7/9 - Northern Pacific # 0597 with a bizarre driveline of nylon shafts and rubber bands to the trucks. Unfortunately it needs a new nylon shaft; Various Athearn...

As we say in the UK - "It's MY trainset". Seriously though it'll be based on a Motive Power Depot with feeder tracks - problem solved. I reckon that, by swapping buildings around and using a modeller's licence that is available from all good model/hobby shops, I can handle the geography challenge.

Greetings from England. I'm modelling HO, with biases towards the Southern Pacific/Rio Grande and Northern New England - BAR, MEC, B&M. At present I'm in collecting mode, but a layout is under construction, so there will be movement in the new year.....LOL I've got the usual kit - Athearn...
