Nice work!

I like the Sawnee loco, nifty job on the dynamic brake pod; it somehow looks
'right' for a depiction of an EMD machine at that size. Definitely something
for the files.

I'm also very much impressed with the pilot on UP#3148, you just know that
one's built for the business.

And the steamer at the end... cooo-wull! I don't recognize it (or either of the
above, actually) from anywhere. It looks like the drivers might be aftermarket
from someplace? Care to enlighten? I'm jealous, it makes me want to hunt down a
machinist to have some wheels created from bar aluminum stock.

(Ok, I'm slightly loco-centric, what gave it away??)

Cheers,
KMaynes

(...) That UP#3148 is my MOC. Thanks for the compliment. I'm shocked you can actually read the unit number from that photo. Yep, she's built for business. I wanted the front end to look mean and strong. If any minifig gets on the tracks in front of (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Once again the NGLTC presented a display outside of the Georgia LEGO Outlet store. It was a perfect day for an outside show, and a great day for a crowd at the outlet mall. The layout was pretty much packed all day long with visitors, and wide eyed (...) (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.general) !
