Russ, your talking about UP's famous shop built SW10's , no i havent seen any up here, but i would love it if there was one here :mrgreen: . I have been wanting to kitbash one for years, but to many projects keep getting piled on ahead of it. I am not even sure if any are around anymore, i have seen pics of them out west in the past.
Gus, Russ is 110% CORRECT! , honestly i never knew what those engines were or how they worked until last weekend when doctorwayne explained it to me while we were at the IRM .
THANKS for the interest and questions folks! :mrgreen:
EDIT: I just came back from dropping my son off at the airport, on the way back i scouted the S.Beloit UP & ICE yards, if i can get the motivation to get off my duff tomorrow i'll have some NEW shots to add to this thread :mrgreen: ...if not, well, i'll add some more older shots .
