Locos - Rolling stock (general)
The SP gods are smiling. . .
I just got an e-mail announcement from ExactRail. They are coming out with a really SWEET Bay Window Caboose.
Ah - I miss the SP and the days of a caboose at the end of the train.

55n3 K-27, could be built for less than $200, YIKES
Some one asked me a while back about "Modern" power in 55n3 here is my findings on the D&RGW K-27 in Scale55:
The Bachmann On30 2-8-0 matches the K-27 plans in the June 1973 Model Railroader.
It has been done in Large Scale, I never realized that the Bachmann 2-8-0 was converted to a smaller scale K-27.

Mild kitbash of the new Bachmann 2-6-6-2
Not being satsified with the look just decaling the new Bachmann 2-6-6-2 to represent a SP MM3 articulated I decided to go a step further by replacing the air compressor heavy smokebox front with one better representing the class MM3 of which there were 2 originally running on the Verde Tunnel & Smelter line near Jerome Az.
Modelling the Santa Fe "Super Chief" and other Santa Fe Trains Prior to 1971.
I am looking at modelling Santa Fe's Super Chief and other SF passenger trains between the late 1950's and 1971. Could anyone tell me how many full length Dome Liner cars would have been in service on any one train. Bachmann have a reasonable model of this style of car.
