Bruce - Great start with another cool Conrail shot.

Deano - Sweet looking locos.

Here is a little color with Western Maryland FA2 #304 in the circus scheme and black and gold #303 passing O.L. King and Sons Coal Yard. Locos are tan boxed Proto 2000's.





These two locos have been a pain in the butt since I got them. I believe at least one if not both has the infamous cracked gear issue. I also have three undecorated units. I purchased them to use for the Jersey Central Babyface A and B shells I got from the Anthracite Railroads Historical Society. I changed out the chastises for the two WM units, however I had issues with the front couplers. Kadee #5's or $148's are two short so I got #26's which only work without the flat spring. I need to get and try the whisker equivalent of the #26. Then when I tried to run the two locos together rear to rear the couplers caused a short and were sparking. The couplers are missing their springs but I don't know if they were before or as a result of the shorts.
