From Conway yard to new castle pa and back to Conway yard,

My favorite IAIS locomotives aren't, well...IAIS locomotives.  I've always liked second-generation EMD SDs, so when LLPX SD38-2s 2802, 2805, 2807, and 2809 were leased, and later purchased, by the IAIS, they became naturals as future modeling subjects.  

With my IAIS locomotive roster projects winding down, one of the last remaining road units to build was SD38-2 2809.  It joins sisters 2802 and 2805, so I thought I'd include photos of all three in the post below for comparison.

Hi community members,

After 35+ years of armchair modelrailroading I finally have a room, benchwork almost done and a track plan idea. Now it's time to ask if I'm missing or can improve something? I’ll post this on some different fora to see if I get some good feedback.
