Re: SP 4449 Harlem Shake
Does look goofy, but they aren't mine.
As for C liners:
Freight C Liners were B+B, passenger ones were B + A-1-A. So like I said, this required 4 b units. CLC made a handful of B+B passenger units but there were no A-1-A + A-1-A C liners.
Are you thinking of Erie Builts?
Edit: Digging around it seems there is a dispute over whether these are C Liner or Erie Built trucks, regardless C Liners only had either 4 or 5 axles. Erie Builts did in fact have 6.

Re: SP 4449 Harlem Shake
Ditch lights are the price you pay to do full speed. In retrospect, they'd be better farther down and more integrated into the nose, but I think something in Warbonnet is better than nothing. If they were coming to GR, I'd go out to see them.

Re: SP 4449 Harlem Shake
It isn't the ditch lights that bothers people. Historic locomotives are also exempt from ditch light standards as well, not sure how old the units must be though.
Edit: Units prior to 1949 are exempt http://www.trainweb.org/gyra/dc_lts.htm

Re: SP 4449 Harlem Shake
Anything can get away with not having ditch lights as long as its not going more than 20 mph over crossings.

The PA trucks did come from Erie-builds. The trucks were salvaged from a CP mobile welding plant unit (a Erie B-unit).

Any day of the week. Notice the real 347C (California State Railroad Museum) wording is more crisp and the stainless is better than painted gray. Also I never noticed til now the weird looking plow?? on the front of those SP units.

Who gives a crap? I think the 316 looks really nice, regardless if it's not 100% authentic.TrainWatcher wrote:No.... THIS:J T wrote:Those are beautiful.Chrisracer8903 wrote:

And unlike you, I've actually been to the CSRM several times, and I've seen, touched (oh how orgasmic!), and photographed 347C:
If I want to say that 316 is a beautiful paint job, well then that's my prerogative.

Ok, getting back on topic a bit, go to Youtube and type in "do the harlem shake." Hit "enter" and just wait, don't click on a video.

Just as it is James prerogative to not like the paint job on that engine. Of course, when he says it, the usual suspects on this site jump all over him, calling him a drama queen, telling him to get enough money to do it himself if he doesn't like it and so on. It sounds just a tad hypocritical if you ask me.
