Bruce - As always a nice everyday Conrail scene.

Deano - I like the contrast between the used UP unit and the abused SP unit.

I am going to post a quick one for now just in case my run by plans don't come off. However, there is a story behind these.

These beauties are my old yet new Proto 2000 Reading F7A and F7B. I purchased these units over 10 years ago just before I had to take the forced hiatus from the hobby. I actually forgot about them. When I got back into the hobby I found this box and opened it. It contained my last order. These locomotives, a couple more, and some rolling stock were in there. Tonight I finally took the wrapping off, unboxed them, and tested them. After a ten year delay here is their debut on my layout. BTW who ever designed the coupler pockets on the B-unit and the rear of the A-unit should be set to model railroad hell. They were perhaps the most needlessly difficult installation I have come across.
