Actually, it was being used to cut down the largest tree in the forest. With little to no success, I might add. -Jason IT can't be done! Noooo!!!! Don't say that! -Jason

since the "Newfies" were 3'6" gauge, they would have a lot of trouble on the Standard Gauge track at WRJ. why are the Newfoundland G8s ignored ? they would make an interesting loco model, too bad NdeM didn't have any Standard Gauge versions. Spikre

Spikre CN did have some standard-gauge G8's numbered in the 850's. Basically same thing, just with standard gauge wheelsets and the centre A-1-A axle removed. And a pair of 990-series G12's acquired from the London and Port Stanley Ry.

What does any of this have to do with the SD40-2 ?

OPPS,miss read the G8 Caption,850-854 were Standard Gauge,but doubt they ever showed up at WRJ. so then checked the G12 roster, NdeM had 90,5800-5889,so that really trumps the L&PS's 2 units, says CN got them during 1966. and how about G16s ? NdeM had 24 of them,7300-7323,intresting Sand Boxes mounted on the trucks, and what looks like a Weight Slug in front of the fuel tank. but seriously doubt Rapido is interested in any of the above ?

2850 from the 1939 Royal Train is at expo rail? What a coincidence because is that not where the big announcement is? I have absolutely no use for 2850. I don't believe it ever operated at Spadina or on the Kingston Sub, and it certainly couldn't have been there in my layout era. Keep guessing. -Jason Wow...talk about esoteric. I had to go look up what this locomotive was as I had no kloo. Well Jason, you could sell, oh what 2 of them ? Anywho, my money is betting that Rapido's next product is the SW1200RS with actual functioning diesel engine! Here's a sneak shot @ Jason lifting the hood off one to peek inside:

Marty, was just thinking CP as You didn't put down CN also. read sometime back in Trains that the CN C-liners didn't stay on the CV run all that long,thought the RS-11s replaced them ? the CP E8s later went to the run thru Maine after the B&M ceased the Montreal/long distance runs. but please state the Road{s} in the future. Steve, any pics of the "Empress' running along the "Red Rocks" area ? in at least 3 trips to Toronto never cpould find the Empress,or M640 4744. but did see plenty of C424s,M630s and M636s,plus those GP40-2WLs. Spikre not sure where those lines came from, or how to delete them yet ?? Sorry, will try to be more diligent in the future. CN C-Liners were regulars on the CV until the CV got its fleet of GP9s in March 1957. CV didn't get any "new" RS-11s - the RS-11s on the CV came from DW&P years after the C-Liners were no longer used on CV through trains.

Marty, OPPPs,with all the back and forth swaps Grand Trunk did with the RS-11s, forgot they started out on DW&P during 1956. but the GP9s were the equals to the RS-11s and Superior to the C-Liners. did manage to see one of the Retired RS-11s about 1990 in South Binghamtons' Conklin Yard,still painted for CV,and riding on those odd CFS trucks. never did see the ex-N&Ws that CV used to replace several wrecked Original RS-11s earlier. pic of ex-N&W 367 as CV 3609 in Diesel Builders Vol-2,page 156,10/80. author missed the fact it was actually CV3609 #-2.

atsfan, what Your implying here, is if it doesn't have 6 axles and 3000HP,and wasn't built by EMD between 1972 and 1984, it isn't a loco any manufacturer should waste time on ? Spikre

No, it's a Budd. The cut out is all "roundie" like this Budd Conestoga, and the station is to throw you off. It's this:

it looks like Whoever designed that Ingalls cab came out of retirement to design those Horrid EMD 3 window cabs of the late 80s. like the Engalls exhaust stack,was this thing a Semi-Steamer ? Edit,he also could have designed a couple of those San Luis Potosi 3 window NdeM cabs ? Edit 2 - maybe some of those horrid 70s M-K cabs also ? and those 2 early GE North American Cabs ? does Overland still have thiers ? Spikre

That picture of the Ingalls looks like the one recently posted from BARPM; if it is, it is made of WOOD(!!!) and is not the brass import.
