You can't have too many GG1s!  I've got a few more, but this is all just my Conrail stuff.  

Those would be four Alpha E44As, and five Bachmann E33s.  One of the E44As and two of the E33s  are in the middle of  being painted/getting decals,  so that is why some of them look strange. 

For whatever reason Bachmann decided to  reverse the logos and lettering on the Conrail locomotives, and put a HUGE PC logo on the nose of the PC E33s,  which has made them sort of a pain to correct/patch.  That said, the details on the Bachmann units are really good,  and it has always bugged me that they would get these little details right but then totally fudge the paint schemes.

Ed, nice shots of your steamers.
Tom, impressive looking coal train.
Chris, glad to see that your still modeling, you also have an impressive looking locomotive roster.

Conrail came down to pick up the lone sand car at Oisin Sand.
