(...) John, Dan, Lar++, any other Train Meeting attendees, is there now anything you can add to the announcement? Are we going to be able to build our own 4551's from the parts offered? or are we going to be limited to the lame 4561 style of loco? (...) (24 years ago, 18-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

My new 6-wide (yes, 6-wide) B30-7 is close to completion, all it needs is the windows, air horns, and fuel tank and then it'll be complete, pictures will come soon. The only reason this locmotive is 6-wide, is that it fits with the rest of my fleet, (...) (24 years ago, 18-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
