See if I can fix that.
Bruce as always I love the Conrail locomotives and I agree it does look wet.
Deano - That is one cool locomotive. UP did have some unique locos.
I am not sure I will have a run by this weekend but I do have this.
These are Bachmann Spectrum Reading SD-45's. The dirty one 7603 is one of the first locos I purchased when I got back into the hobby seriously 20 years ago. As such other than a couple of TYco, AHM, and Life-Like it is the oldest locomotive I have and the definately the oldest active loco. The cleaner one 7602 was purchased a few months ago.

Nice pair of SD45's Tom!
I have a UP SD45 Athearn BB, sadly, it has no railings on it so I doubt it will see the rails on the Rock Valley Sub I have always wanted an SD45 in WC livery, the WC had a lot of them.
Here's a pair of DD40AX's leaving Chester headed to the town of Owen...
