Now now children, play nicely!

In real life, it was common to see lashups like the one Shawn posted, if one was chasing the Wisconsin Central in the 1990s. See the link below.

Now that is unique. Reminds me of the early Guilford years with their mixed bag of locomotives from D&H, MEC, B&M, PT, and ST. :)

By the way, Dustin, I guess the reason why I felt that the GP38-F7-GP7/9 wasn't weird or rare, is, that is what I typically see at the company I am employed by. :)

My apologies for going along with the title of this topic, and for being a part of the original LSRC development team, which led to my crazy lash up. I'll go back to my fictional corner now..

It's okay, Shawn. Everyone has their own interpretations of fictional railroads. That's the beauty of it all.

When I meant "Fictional re-paints", I mostly meant locomotives painted/lettered for REAL railroads that never owned them (Like say a Great Northern F40PH, a BNSF F-unit, or an Amtrak EF-4 "Little Joe"), straying a little off what I had in mind, but that's fine.

But with the weird lashups in mind, I thought of that screenshot I took.
