Instead of making one BIG railroad, you guys that all model the same arena should split up into systems that are either related corporate, or bridge route.

I agree. Our club layout, the Sabine & Neches RR could bridge the gap from East Texas, or Westlake to the Golden Triangle of Texas. Lots of refineries and chemical plants around here.
Happy railroading,
GT Dan

So I knokw its been awhile for me to have done anything on my RR but im back. Im currently working on an patched ex-KCS snoot SD40-2. The next unit i'll be working on is an SD70ACe it will have a mix of UP,NS,BHP specs. The SD70ACe will have the following add ons, the UP PTC equipment on the cab,Dual K5LAs like BHP along with the Windshield covers( will be used for mid trains on coal trains), Front and Rear Ditch lights, and plows, the newer inverter panel style, the helper box like on the NS ACes above the fuel tank, and a nose headlight.

Sounds like an awesome idea just put it to reality. That would be a very unique engine, and I love the idea of the dual horns and screens.

Hopefully it can come to life, but the long hrs at the FD has killed some of my time.
