Big Blue has inspired some purchases

Thanks for the kudos on the trucks - they're going to fit in great.  

The main part of the package from Bruce (two N21's) are now proudly moving over tracks in the gorge.  N21s had a variety of bay window configurations, and I can't find any on the Conrail roster other than the window bumpout version (the non-Operation Lifesaver unit (Walthers) is a good example).  The Operation Lifesaver unit is an Athearn unit I believe.  Nice and heavy and certainly larger in size than the Walthers.  I did add a lead weight to the Walthers unit that I think came out of the Southern Pacific RS2 that I bequeathed to Matt for his current loco project.  Cab units tend to be smaller and lighter, and I've found adding weight helps them through switches when I reverse trains back into my storage yard.  A little light weathering and some detail painting at some point.
