Big Red is my fave engine from your group... nice and beefy.

Beautiful - Ya gotta get those decals on before we do any more shows.

Actually, I overheard one Model Railroader commenting to another Model
Railroader at the event- "Look at the big red GP-38 in the middle."

I can just imagine your chest swelling whilst over-hearing that...   :-)

A 6-wide version is pending though. BigRed is too fat to fit most
places on Michel's layout, so I'll need one that will.

What was the "Chelsie" modeled after?  I thought it was the best one there.
Sorry - Big Red 8 doesn't really count, since it's in a different class.
If my layout is N-scale, a beautiful HO-scale doesn't do me much good.
Michel - who did you get it from?  He's another LUGNet train nut right?
I'm hoping he either has a DAT file for it, or it's OK with him and you
that I borrow yours and make a copy of it - in red for CP if that is
a model of engine that they use (or used).  I confess my train knowledge
is quite limited compared to many here, but I know what I like.  :-)
