Maybe I should PM you to talk, not sure if I can here or not anymore even though it's a open forum...
Are the 1/48th's powered? Haven't seen the creamsicle in person yet but did catch the CoG on the Chicago line outside Cleveland last week leading the empty 65R, man that paint job is SWEET!
Keep the pics coming!! It's nice to see something different here!

Wow, very nice stuff. I also like these huge diesel engines. Are these 1:48 engines resin kits??? Can't believe you made these from scratch, did'nt you?  S.

very nice pics , I love the scale model ones , very nice , and as far as comments on post it is not what it was 5 years ago ,
I know very well , I posted some customized and not much comments , it does not affect me very much because I customize for ME not for the others but I do love to share with others .
Train wise I like them a lot too , it is a very special trade .

Kokosing, yes mine are powered, you can buy them non powered though but they dont come to the proper scale then and I dont like that, shoot me a PM if you need to
Ironstef, no they are not resin, I didnt scratch build them, they are diecast, very heavy models
as far as all the real heritage engines go, I have seen them all now but there is 1 I wasnt able to photograph, NS 8098 Conrail, still waiting for it to come back to Chicago. About a week ago I was 30 minutes to late on catching 2 heritage units parked right next to each other on separate oil trains, man was I pissed.
I guess ill keep the pictures coming, if I could figure out why it wont let me send videos from my phone to my email I could post videos too

DeWoc19, I'm a little confused with your statement: "....yes mine are powered, you can buy them non powered though but they dont come to the proper scale then...." I have the very same model engines in both powered and non-powered manufactured by both Lionel and MTH and to me the powered and non-powered engines look identical except the non-powered engines have no electronics, motors or drives. What am I missing? What have you noticed that makes the non-powered not to proper scale? Thanks! Randy M. Smolenack RMSmodels@aol.comrandy.m.smolenack.civ@mail.mil

Great pictures DeWoc!!!! I'm glad to see the model shots too as it makes them more appreciative to see the two together in pictures.
Only wish I could get an O scale model loco for crane load ideas and such.

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

Graham, I dont have anymore on order right now, was thinking about ir but the 2 rail versions I was told are only produced in enough to cover pre orders since 2 rail isnt as popular, and pre orders have been done for a while now, I want a few more but I was thinking of getting more than just heritage units
Randy, MTH engines come in 3 forms as you know. 3 rail powered, 3 rail non powered and 2 rail, I only collect 2 rail cause the real engines dont have that silly roller in the middle to power them, looks ridiculous if you ask me, the only real difference in 2 rail to 3 rail is the trucks, they are more accurately scaled and just look better than 3 rail, other than that everything is the same, my mistake on saying they werent fully to scale, but to me thats far enough off to say its not accurate

Seems as if the HU's were always on the coal trains, now they're mostly on the money maker trains with coal being down in the gutter. Oil is almost as hot as UPS freight. I've seen a fair share of them run through Buffalo, but have yet to be on one!  Not a HU but the other night a KCS unit came in, SD70ACe, man that paint job was sexy! First time I ever got to see one of those.

Dewoc, Thanks for posting the HU's. I don't get to see too many of them either. Just when I get comfortable about being a model builder/collector, you bring out many of us are also some form of "Train Nut" also. Good to know there are more of us! HA! DanielD
