Look What Loco I Got Today!

Unread post by Racer »

Today before railfanning, I went to my hobby shop and got some more track and I got this baby on sale: A Spectrum Series CSX YN2 C40-8!

Runs very nicely and has directional headlight.

Wow, the detail on that is very good. N Scale has come a long ways. Do yo plan on weathering it a little, Chris :?: I think that will bring out some of the details even better.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Now all you need is a CW40-8 and you can run Q327! :)
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

Already got one in Conrail Trevor. I also need to fix-up my CSX SD40-2 YN2. For some odd reason, it doesn't run now, but at times it will show it's head-light lit.

The CW40-8 MUST be in YN2!

When I build Q327 from time-to-time on my layout it MUST have an SD40-2. That's the reason why Q327 and Q326 are awEsome because they mostly have old EMD and GE power on them! :D

Trevor, that's what AC4400CWs and GEVOs are for :D ! I'm still waiting for Atlas or KATO to make a GEVO.

You've got about a 10 year wait.
