Part Two
There are lots of guys here and elsewhere, who model the Transition Era, The Reading, The Pennsy, Conrail, now what do you think my connections with them are?
Simple both locomotives used by the EFRR are Generation One power, EFRR 2716 is a EMD SW1200 with a Reading to Conrail to EFRR lineage. Illinos Western 7570 is a EMD GP9 of Pennsy heritage, chopped and cropped at Paducha Ken. into a GP10, then to Conrail and with the distinction of being the last EMD 567 engine unit to run on Conrail. Rescued from the deadline with a failed Main Generator, it has now had two different paint jobs since being with Illinois Western.
And the kicker to all of this is that while I model the EFRR based in Middle America, I was born, grew up, live and work in Melbourne, Australia, yet I have something in common with guys half a world away.
Can you see now how your niche makes you, you and yet gives you your links to others?
