The EJ&E 666 that is. This unit has been a staple around my area for the past few months. Killer RS3L and the nonturbo chatter that any EMD fan HAS to appreciate. Picked up a Kato SD38-2 off eBay today and am getting ready to order up the decals I need since the Kato model is in the J Ball scheme. Here is a photo... www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=349196And a video to show off the tasty Leslie onboard... Will try to document this build as I go. I am really looking forward to this! |

Steve, that appears to be a great project, I think it is good to have a Satan locomotive, in fact I have often considered doing KCS 666, Railpictures appears to have lots of great shots to see as well. This is my favorite www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=206981&nseq=17 and this one shows a great shot of the roof accutraments, check out the firecraker with the disk half way up. |

I'm a minister and I think this is hilarious!  Wish there was one like that in a Canadian road name. I may just have to do one of these up. |

Wasn't Conrail #6666 (SD45-2) nicknamed "Superbeast"?

Hey Steve,
I loved the video and I guess that puts a new twist on the phrase " A Cold Day In Hell"
I have always liked these units with the matte black used on the hood, walkways, and roof areas along with the silver trucks and tank just set the whole thing off very nicely.
