I just uploaded some pictures of a train I built yesterday. Down in Orlando
just west of the airport on the Bee Line there is a blue locomotive that has
been sitting there for as long as I can remember. Everytime I drive past it
(once or twice a month, it is on my path between our Orlando office, the
LIC, and the airport) I think - hmm, I should take a picture of it. Well, I
still haven't taken a picture so I decided to try and build it from memory.
I captured it in ML-CAD the other day while sitting on an airplane so the
building process went pretty quickly.
Here are the results: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3094
It is only 24 studs long, I had originally built it on the blue wagon plate
from 4555 but had issues with the truck clearances. I will be in Orlando
later this week and will try to remember to take a picture of the real
thing.

Mike,
It definitely is a product of EMD(the prototype), once you obtain the
photograph, I can tell you the particular model and it's statistics if you
are so interested. -Harvey
