No problem! They'll be available if you want them(I dont think anyone else wants them). Or you could always have 6672 JK But that one will be shopped later this year.

HPR is leaing 9055 from GMTX. I would also be willing to buy a couple of them as is. Are they still in Blue and White Oakway?
There was a tiny change in plans but some are still but others are already being cut up in Lima to be rebuilt. The SD69EV prototype actually exploded, due to derailing and having to weak of a fuel tank(The trucks dont steer well with the elongated body and long fuel tank so taking curves is too hard). So the SD69EV project is on hold until more money can be put together for research.
Alright, I'll give. I would like to lease 2 GP10s (preferably in great condition) for 2 months. They will be tested on various trains for awhile, before most likely going into grain train service.

Two GP10's in great condition! You could come down to Lima and test them on our test track with various test loads. We have rights over the RJ Corman, along with LLCX, to test our locos.

Sure! We'll come down and play with them for awhile tomorrow, then sign some papers.

Sounds good, the will be up by Sunday so we can clean the interior and check parts but they should be fine.
Also V1.2 is out from LLC.
I think we got a hit here...
Upgrades from V1.1:
Added shocks to make riding smoother and prevent derailments
Improved cab
Added concrete slabs to add even more weight
High Headlight
Added K3H horn
I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but you are imitating history by using the RJ Corman to test your locomotives out from LLC. The real Lima Locomotive Works used the NKP line that RJCM owns today to test out all of its steam locomotives before delivery, including those beasts for the C&O, the 2-6-6-6 Allegheny!

LOL I did not but they don't run that often plus the track is decent, thats why I choose it. We are currently taking 754 out for a test run on it.
