UP SD40-2's NEW Layout

[UP SD40-2]

Thanks so much guys!

Well another week has passed, kinda hectic, but I got some running on the layout down, and some fixing...cripes. 
Seems like everything is going to pot on me, its all breaking...er, so it seems. I told you guys a few posts back that when I buy new cars/engines I never changed the couplers on them until they broke or gave me problems, well it seems like over the last couple months I have had a bunch of couplers go out on me. One good thing is every time I go to the hobby store I always pick up 2-4 packs of Kadee #5's, I sure have been using them. I think the problem is all my stuff is getting old, and I have been running long trains now that I have a layout I can do that on, but now it seems like I have 1-2 cars or engines breaking couplers just about every time I run. All the cars that I have Kadees on work perfectly though, should have changed them all when I bought them.

Another problem I have been having is all my plows on my engines have been coming off...give me a break, cripes. I suspect its the same problem, my stuff is old and has been stored and moved several times through the years. I am always careful with my stuff as to not break anything, but Ill pick up something, or just move it and BOOM, plow is off. SO, I have been fixing things this past week.

I ran all my patched units this week, didnt get shots of all of them but I ran them, I'll post shots of all my patched engines here...










NOT going to patch this one, but I consider it a patched unit...


OK, did ya notice I have two patched units from every road I have thats not UP. Here's just a couple random shots from this week...




Thats all for this week folks, till next time...
