UP SD40-2's NEW Layout

[UP SD40-2]

Went to the IRM today! As always it was AWESOME

I know this is a layout thread, so I am not going to post all the pics I took, but except for the first and last pic, the rest I will post here are of stuff I actually have models of . First off here's me in front of a Milwaukee Road E8 in UP colors...


next up, I have a CNW SD40-2, not the same number but...


I do have this exact engine...


I also have this exact engine, just a note, the guy on the step I work with, that's David Hannel, he volunteers at the IRM...

(Dave is wearing his BNSF hat just to tick me off as he knows I am a diehard UP nut )

I have 5 thrall door box cars...


I have 3 waffle side boxcars...


I have one wagon top that I run with my steamers...


I have so much more, but I am leaving off with this one, I don't have a Little Joe, but I was lucky enough to be there when they moved this from the barn to get another engine out today , I have NEVER seen this engine outside the barn in all the years I have been there, wow, I was in the right place at the right time for about 15 mins, then it was gone again...


Till next time folks, stay on track...
