I believe the GDLK may be at the GRE yard currently -- heard something passing Leonard a few minutes ago but didn't see anything at the crossing when I went to look.

I taped a bunch of leaves and halloweeenie stuff on it this morning when we tied her down. We are going for a new theme train call the frankenstien train. It will feature technicolor units each with there own heritage scheme...

Uh-oh!
I knew the day would come...but sad it has....

I wish they at least kept the number, so my username would work. Apparently not!

[GLLX3002]

They are using the G&W numbering scheme. I think she looks beautiful and I can't wait for the rest of them to be painted.

Now the 3001 has gone, they can paint as much as they'd like. I guess we'll be seeing some real matched Marquette Power in the near future.

Your name never worked! It was GLLX 3001! The MQT was your own thing that G&W was not going to keep the number just so some random kid could keep his forum username.

Heritage scheme? G&W just painted over the loco that was closest to a heritage scheme!
