Here i will be posting the Motive Power for the Modesto & Empire Traction Company. These are the real locomotives that serve the M&ET right now. For each Prototype locomotive, ill be doing a model of it for my M&ET layout.
The M&ET currently has a roster of the follwing locomotives:
Seven (7) 70-Tonners (#'s 600-604, 607, 608)
Two (2) SW1500's (#'s 1500 & 1501)
Two (2) RP20BD's (#'s 2000 & 2001)
Two (2) 70-Tonners (#'s 012/611 & 013/610) (future rebuilds and i will wait and see what they are before modeling them)
I am however modeling Ten (10) M&ET 70-Tonners, 2 of them have been retired in early 2009, and one was wrecked in 2006, but i feel they should still be included in my M&ET fleet for the layout....
Ill do a separate post for each locomotive/road number so i can post updates about it when i complete something new on them. Each and every loco will have to be custom painted, decaled detailed, weathered, and fitted with a DCC decoder.
Hope you guys enjoy this thread as much as i will enjoy updating it with new progress shots and details
