According to what I just looked up a GP-35 is 56'-2" long, while the SD40's length was about 66'-5". There's a ten foot difference there which would be noticable at LEGO scale. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) <snipped dat> Well, I am not sure what this is, but it is not a TOFC IMHO. Until the last step I thought it was kind of "roadrailer"-ish. But that big yellow front part baffles me. Either that or LDLite is displaying it wrong... A TOFC is a (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.trains)

Has anyone made any modifications to 4561. I think it COULD be a nice train but it needs help. And I need some help for ideas. I was think of a commuter like in Chicago. Help. Mike (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
