That real loco is an embarrassment, you wouldn't want to draw that unit for lead unit duties.
Having said that I do like the idea to use the real loco as "inspiration" for a Big Blue "Fallen Flag" members tribute.

I recognize many of the names, but I hadn't realized a few of them had passed on. Sounds like a good idea to me!

I have one of Robin's locomotives and two of his cardstock buildings he made and named the industries after me (Catt).
Damn, I still miss that man.

So will this Frankenstein Diesel have a sound chip inside so that when it is started up the voice of Dr Frankenstein will yell;
"It's Alive, my Monster is ALIVE!!!!

Someone you care about maybe gone, but if you still think favourably of them from time to time, then they are not forgotten.

No, no sound.
I agree.... as long as you think of them from time to time, they still live on in memories
I still have the 2 holes of the mini golf, the On30 engine and the trees from Shamus and I still have the HO truck from Jeffrey, and the Engine house and an NARA leased U25-B G scale engine from Robin (and Catt), so I guess I'm remembering them pretty well
