Robin, your model is an excellent rendition of the very same trains I watch in
the yard every time I'm visiting Temple, TX. There's a recently restored Santa
Fe station there right next to a working and busy freight yard. I _always_
grab a sandwich at lunch-hour and head down to the tracks to watch these
Dash-9s in action, wondering what it'd take to cast them in LEGO.
You've done it in six wide, nonetheless. Nice work!
And thanks very much for sharing.
