Does anyone know if any manufacturer has produced a HO scale, diesel locomotive in the Monon road name? I would like to locate one if such exist.

Here are some more photos of the scenery for my club layout. This is all in an 18" by 6" scene with backdrops by backdrop junction. This is still the example module I showed awhile ago but more views.

My personal favorite done with flash on an iPhone

Did a nice train ride this weekend at Niles Canyon between Sunol and Fremont Ca.

 
Rode down in the restored SP lounge car and back in the open cars.  They stopped for the run by that was great.
 
Enjoy

Diesel help

Sun, 2015-09-06 13:08 — drowland

I have two Athearn diesel locos that were a gift to me from my father several years ago. I have not done much with them but would like to something to improve their performance and to weather them. I know nothing about the era these diesels were put into service or how long they were used. I would like to know what the differences are in the different classifications of diesel locomotives such as a GP-2 or GP-50. Where can I go to learn about the different classifications of diesel locos?  I have attached two photos of what I have, any help would be appreciated.

Did anyone talk to Intermountain about GP10?

Sun, 2015-08-30 18:54 — rrfaniowa

I’d like to know if anyone who was at the National Train Show talked with Intermountain about the status of their GP10s? Are they going to make this model a priority and get it done?

I saw the picture Jeff Schultz posted and it looks like there is hardly any progress on that model from almost nine months ago.  

It’s been a LONG wait.

Thanks,
