Big Blue has inspired some purchases

[TMo]

Did a little trial and error with the lighting harness and got front and rear LED lights installed in the beast and put her together for what I hope is the final time.  I also took Jim's recommendation and lopped off the bottom of the frame-to-chassis lugs leftover from the Athearn Blue Box attachment mechanisms (pin in hole).  The left side number box is not that bright, it's just the glare off of the overhead lighting.  I love the Intermountain drivetrain - smooth as silk.  This is the first representative of new Conrail power in the gorge.  Merry Christmas to all - this one's been a bit of a present to myself.
