Hey Mat,

Now jumping to your reply to Cale...

   I am planning to finish my GS4, but I’m tempted to build a E7 pair as well.

At least with my first steam engine I found it was nice to have a pair of diesels for shows. The Hiawatha ran great on the flat floor at home, but man it still isn’t too crazy about the wobbly tables at shows.
