Hello. This is my first post on this excllent new site. I primarily model SP in the mid-1950's, but here's a few pictures of some of my friend Rob Mallett's SP power from a more modrn time.  They were taken yesterday on our club layout, Anson Yard:

I just found out my review of the new Kato N-Scale GG-1 is on the Model Railroader Magazine newsletter this week.

Before anyone says anything, yes I know I can't spell and sometimes leave out letters and occasionally a whole word.

I wrote it after running my GG-1 on my blub's layout for about an hour just after I got the loco. I've run it several more times since and I love it. I now more convinced than ever that you need to have the Kato blue railer to get this one the tracks. Otherwise there are just too many wheels to fiddle with.

Here are some of my favorite pieces of rolling stock.

First is a gondola. It started life as a 50'er but I shortened it to 40'

 Next are two flat cars with lumber loads. I scratchbuilt the loads

Well, I got back from the WPM meet around 9PM PST last night. Was a new experience, lots of interesting stuff to look at, and the intermodal presentation was dead on. I shot around 250 photos. Met a few new people (including the guy who does the Q&A section of the Streamliner (UPHS's magazine). I got his email, going to get myself some more info towards my UP excursion fleet. Met a few guys who're interested in having me detail their Dash 9's too. Lots of oohing & awwing there. The detail re-work on mine impressed them the most.
