Wow! Such a nice model of a curvy, angular locomotive. Not an easy thing to do. And the C&O colors look awesome.

Thanks Cale, I was just lucky that TLG made the dark blue half arch for the nose.

   Speaking of BL2s I stumbled across this Walk through of Bangor & Aroostook BL2 #557 while surfing one of my favorite Rail sites today. They were certainly odd ducks.


That was a cool walk through, I’ve been through f-units before but never a BL2. Interesting to see just how they worked out the spacing, etc. With the tight space in the long hood due to the ledge, I can see why the BL series never caught on.

And thanks for the link to RyPN, good to see R&LP continuing on.
