Reinhard, about 5 years ago the BNSF replaced all the ex-SF freight-bonnet GPs from Mykawa Yard with Gensets. I wasn't too happy about that, but now the Gensets are growing on me a bit and I am considering getting a pair. For now, I am running various GPs as pairs.

The last remaining section that needed ballast and dirt. The area is 25-30 feet long and has only 4 industries.... big industries. These will be modeled from 4 actual industries in the Hobby area industrial park.
I have been acquiring more modern rollingstock. About 20 covered hoppers and 25 tank cars.
In the mykawa west area, the following is ARA Resources, a chemical supplier. No longer have rail service, the spur has been removed, but of course, my model will have rail service.

I modeled three of them:
And Grocer's supply right across from ARA:
And the unpainted model:
