Modern Urban Chicago

[dave_long]

Hi Mal,
It's a great little plan and doesn't take up too much room, always ideal for a small exhibition style layout. I've known about that Paper co. longer than I've actually modeled US railroads. So it will be a bit of a challenge to fit in a representation of it, but one I'm looking forward too.

I've also got two Switchers to recreate. Although there does seem to be some confusion over whether the last 2 CIRY SWs are SW1200s or SW9s. From what I can tell is that this loco 1206 1206 Looking like a model... is actually a SW9 and not a SW1200 as its been labelled on the cab. But I think its sister loco 1209 here CIRY 1209 @ Sangamon Ave Chicago is a SW1200. Looking through some other website posts there does seem to be quite a bit of discussion over exactly which loco these actually are. Any SW experts out there. Although there is actually a CIRY worker on flickr so I might try and get in touch with him.

However there is NS GP38-3 build I've got to get finished first, but that another story. hock:
