lol, probably should.

From the description of them it sounds like they would be popular with trolley modelers, logging and mining modelers wanting to power a "critter," and it could also be a solution for modelers wanting to open up the grills and make see through Sd40-2t tunnel motors or for powering an RDC with full interior detail.

lol, if only i knew how to run a business.

those trolley people already are getting them somewhere, but i think there are specific trolley companies that handle them. The power trucks have been advertised for the of small units, RDCs/EMUs, and clearing the hoods of diesels purpose as far back as i can remember ( i also have 1970s articles on doing just that), but it hasn't seemed to catch on, and its hard to find sizes that match the MU cars. there is actually a NWSL "GP" PDT at my local hobby shop for $80. its good for SWs and GPs.

Really great looking modeling and a really interesting location to choose! I know everyone has their "favorite" places to model, but this is something you just don't see every day and is really interesting. I like the track work and care taken with the catenary system. The engine history is interesting too.


Please post more pictures when you get the chance.

A few more shots from around the layout.

A busy time at the station!

Wow some neat stuff, I was surprised not to see some former soviet equipment being it a part of the former eastern block nation. I recognized the french Bridget loco by its winnebago looking cab as I had an old book about trains from around the world. Cool stuff

Still loving the electrics!

It is nice that this thread has been bumped. I enjoyed it when it was posted and I am enjoying it again! Fine modeling!

Outstanding detail. Thank you for sharing. Love seeing equipment other than North American. Some mighty powerful electrics there.
