Pacific Western - the fleet so far.

[pacificwestern]

The Pacific Western fleet so far, all are Athearn BB save for the P2k SD9 #777 in the middle.

Further projects on the go to increase numbers include sw1200, GP50 (to BN specs) GP35u, C30-7 and a BN GP40-2.

The BN is the PW's main customer / interchanger so after a few more PW locos have been finished I plan to start doing some BN models.
The PW is set in 1990 so both the PW and BN models are / will be generic to that time period, with 6 axle GE's hauling coal, 4 axle emd's on hotshot intermodals and SD40-2's for most everything else.

I also have a deep rooted love affair with early SD models (7/9/18/24) and intend on fitting 3 or 4 into the roster in helper service.
