I know it’s a diverse set of railroad companies I have, it’s for a reason.
As my signature states, I’m modeling the CPR with a side of the MEC, I just wanted to have a good mix of railroad locomotives so I won’t get bored with the same thing day in & day out. I’ve been able to include an interchange for the MEC but I’ve also been able to include another interchange for the other railroads as well.
I have 4 more units on order, Athearn’s VIA’s P42, Proto 1000 B&M RDC3, & 2 Proto 2000 D&H PA’s

briggs- Love your tag line!
I am a fellow N-scale Norfolk & Westerner, although I do model a fictional Class 2 road which was recently merged into the NW family. Time frame is 1971. Fictional road is the Winchester, Paston & Portsmouth, crossing the state of VA north to south until its main between Front Royal and Richmond was abandoned by NW management. I model the remaining coal-mining portion west of Winchester (yeah, I know, this corner of West Virginia is, in fact, the only part of the state that does not have a single operating coal mine! My fiction assumes that a coal seam was found in the Potomac South Branch Valley).
With two major roads (I throw in some B+O, Pennsy, WM, and Southern for spice), I am taking the opportunity to exhibit very different attitudes towards motive power and paint schemes.
My NW roster is looking more and more authentic for 1971 NW, comprised of several SD-35’s and SD-45’s, one or two SD-40’s, and multiple GP-9’s and GP-18’s, as well as a prized pair of high-nosed GP-30’s. I still need to work on a GP-35 or two. Supplementing this are a few novelty Alco’s, such as an RSD-12 (ex-NKP), a pair of RS-3’s, and a special T-6 kitbash. I have a few units from the other merged roads, like a Wabash U-boat, in order to give GE some representation.
My fictional road is an Alco lover, as I am. They tried out some F-3’s and E-7’s when they deiselized, but found that as a small road they much preferred Alco’s RS-1. They bought FA-1’s and FA-2’s to compare to the EMD units, and then skipped a generation due to financial hardship. Thus, the next Alco they bought into was the RS-11, and they did so in a big way; I’ve got about 5 of these. Their final locomotive was the RSD-15, with a high nose due to NW’s influence over the board of directors; this is my favorite locomotive. I own more than 5, though I can’t be specific because I’ve just been collecting shells and defunct units off Ebay, intending to repower them eventually.

But! Now I just got a BroadwayLimited E-7 Empire Builder and all the rest is in need of conversion…without sound it just doesn’t cut it any more. Sound makes for realistic operation. I can hardly wait to get my next unit. I’ve created a monster! Now if I just had money! tholcapn Port Townsend, WA
