COER's "Scoot" makes its way back to Pueblo after making its second stop in Pueblo. The Scoot is a Pueblo - Royal Gorge service, always steam powered. :good:
Up at Dotsero, train 10I makes its way North lead by a pair of GP40-2's. These "short" TOFC trains are called "Pig Rockets" :) by the crews as the 10I and 11I are meant to be extremely speedy.

In reality, I may actually place WMRC into my n-scale layout. If I end up doing custom painted locomotives for Guilford/Pan Am, why not do it with my fictional road? :clapping:
I don't currently have any equipment painted up for the Kentville & Eastern Railroad (for MSTS/ORTS) but for starters, it operates the former Dominion Atlantic Railway. :)
Fictional railroading itself is keeping me interested in MSTS/ORTS honestly.
Now, imagine if WMRC purchased Pan Am completely. I think if I did do that, Mechanicville to Boston, would simply be sold to Norfolk Southern. But that would also be a lot of rail lines to upgrade/fix and rebuild.. May be out of our budget..

Word. Though actual railroading still has a place MSVR is the majority of my activity.
You have been busy indeed Nash; I had no idea Luke shared his repaints (or did you do them yourself off of his?). I really like the idea of the special paint scheme for lead units of a class.
MSVR montage until after ACT.
MSVR F40PH-2D 805 stopped at Santa Ana with a northbound local express service.

MP40PH-3C 890 shoving a southbound local four months before a massive fueling accident resulted in the loss of three of the five members of the class. Fortunately, 890 was one of the survivors.

About as fictional as I've seen fictionals here. Daylight DF11G storming through Glendale with a matching Talgo set.
