Each of my Locomotives will be customized to reflect CNW standard characteristics. To include the bell in the nose. This takes quite a bit of cutting, filing, and sanding. My stable of EMD locos is made up of the following:
- SD40-2 Primary head end power (X 4)
- 6930 Operation Lifesaver (Rio Grande repaint)
- 6886 Operation Lifesaver (Santa Fe repaint)
- 6845 New Undecorated (Paint and Number)
- USA Train awaiting acquisition and repaint (Might be UP or BN Green)
- SD45 Additional power for consists (X2)
- GP40 Local and switching (X2)
- 5521
- 5521 Duplicate (up for barter or sale)
- GP30 staging, local switch (X1)
- GP38-2 Coal humping (X1)
- FA-1 (X1)
- 2021 CNW Tested Great shape. (I do not like Alco. Trade or sell)
I have broken down my power into planned consists of 2 or 3 locos.
I will have a unit train that will be traveling the length of my route on a regular schedule. The coal train consist will be 1 SD40-2 as lead and SD45 as trail. Maybe later on I will aquire some Dash9s or SD70s. Lets get the layout operational first.
