those molten metal bottle's, would be made out of quite large thinkness plate. and as for the Brick (ceremic tile) BobM mentioned once there added they do add some weight, at work im currnetly working on a 5.3 metre diametre desliming sump for a local mine, once the tiles are added the overall weight is just under 11t. We also did a large chute awhile back which weighed on at about 5t before the tiles were installed. and weighed in at 14t when I escorted it to site. Pic below.

if you look around you can probably change out the number boards or get decals and re number it.

man would you believe that !!!!, the couplers dont come with the engine, you have to buy those separate, so its not technically an engine yet if you ask me.
NS is doing 19 engines in Heritage colors (companies they have taken over over the years) and MTH is doing all 19 companies in model form, theres at least 5 or 6 Heritage engines that im gonna want to add to my collection when that happens, 3 of them come out between Sep and Dec this year..... trains may just be my new cranes

Nice pics Woc!!! Can't get enough of those trains!! I had blood drawn the other day and I swear I saw a couple boxcars, a few coal cars and a loco or two go into the vial from the arm (as in trains in my blood)!!!!!
I can also see where the loco in the middle or end would help. If your pulling a mile or so of loaded cars having all the power at one end is hard on the fuel as well as one the head end locos.
I hope your still having fun on the rails Woc and glad to see you got the bug for the big locos like Graham has. Love the looks of the NS loco and it is amazing looking next to the Elliot fuel and lube!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Nice pics. And engines there. Is there some in 1/50 scale? This will make a great lift load for my cranes.

Like the most recent one, the Illinois bright green! Could you imagine the railfans on the side of the road if you were in one?
