Railfan,
The answer to your question about the logo is, that is a engine I painted for customer he owns a fleet of tug boats here in Detroit, Mi named The Open Lake Group. That is the logo on the stacks of his tug boats and the engine is painted with paint from actual great lake freighters. I'm not sure if it is London inspired.

I wish I had the room to keep a fleet like that. Most of those units pictured are customer units I have painted over the years.
Between my D&H, EL, Warren Bay, & Misc roads I own just over a 100 units myself. I don't think I will ever be able to get them all on the layout at one time. But that is the great thing about painting for other people it lets me paint other roads I like so I don't have the desire to model them myself. Even so I had a hard time getting my current roster down to the size it is now.
Erik

That Harbor Belt caboose rocks. Was that a real prototype or a freelance idea?

You are absolutely right, Erik, the SW1 is classic EMD (followed by the GP30)!! And your Pocono Northeast paint is perfect!! ;D

John, I think the MtE&N engine is a Brass GE model it is a friends I want to say it might be around a 100 tonner but I am not sure. I will ask him next time I see him at a meeting.
Mike, Yes the IHB cab was done from prototype photos.
Robert, I would have to agree the GP30 is my favorite fallowed close by the GP20. The bad thing is none of my prototype road ever rostered either model, but I think some how a few rebuilt GP30 with electronic upgrades so the beauty of the classic 30 won't be lost will have to make to my version of the EL.
