Hey! Is it just coincidence that I picked number 7300?

Matt, I could be wrong but I think the “whatchamuhcallem’s” are the cab A/C units, which get swaped a lot.

Yes! Yippee! I decided a few days ago that I wanted a Dash 8-40CW, not 40C, CW, not Spectrum, Atlas. And to my wonderful relief, i’ll still be able to get my hands on one before production stops!

Man, that Conrail blue makes for a handsome engine!

I might be partial, though. Newvertheless, a fine series of engines from Atlas.

I think you’re right. I couldn’t think of a better word than “whatchamuhcallem’s”…
