I didn’t see this listed, but I may have missed it. http://trainiax.0catch.com/mehomepage.htm It has some great detailed drawings of modern engines, mostly US. Including many variations of more common models such as the GP-38 and SD-40.

Unfortunatly it also exposes how much LEGO missed the mark with the BNSF model. And untill they release more dark green, I’m stuck with it.

But I’ve found another site that has some good information regarding the early streamline versions (uses E1 engines enstead of F3s). But the cars are mostly the same, the later SC haveing a mail car added at times.

The great thing is that this site also has a few other passenger consists listed. I’m glad I found this, as I’m currently working on a California Zephyr with WP cars and engines. And a SP commuter with a GP9 “torpedo boat” in black widow colors for traction. And this is the first good online reference I found for the SP cars.

For more information on cars, including the Amtrak Metroliner, go to the following link:
