Looking good, Rick, it's nice to see the correct color/shade of green -just as I remember seeing! One thing, though: The GN logo on almost all their Diesels had a black background with white lettering around the goat.

Thanks for the catch, Tim.

I'll recheck my sources and change it.

Must be black & white photo dyslexia. :p

Tim,

As expected, I was a little dyslexic on the logo. Thanks again for the sharp eyes.

Also, Gaetan is adding the winterized cab windows. So far, we've got F7s, FA2s, and the S-2's nearing completion, still need to do RS-1, 2, 3 and possibly some freight cars and/or a caboose.

Hey Herb,

I've been using www.greatnorthernempire.net as a resource, because I don't have very much first hand knowledge of the GN. They don't list a whole lot of Alcos on the roster, no S-1s anyway.

2 FB-2 1600 B-B Freight
4 RS-1 1000 B-B Road Switcher
20 RS-2 1500 B-B Road Switcher
13 RS-3 1600 B-B Road Switcher
10 S-2 1000 B-B Switcher

OK Tim!

These guys have gone to Gaetan for final tweaking.

I misspoke. I meant S-2. But not diesel. :p
