Happy Friday!!!

Added a few new engines this week & was FINALLY able to locate some of the Atlas NJT cars. These will look great running with the new MTH NJT F40PH when it arrives.

































NS SD70ACe 1167 shoves an eastbound grain train through Elkhorn tunnel on the Pokey. Even though this is still a great location, it lost a lot of it's character once the N&W signals came down


NS SD60E 7002 (ex NS SD60 6588) leads 68R eastbound through Shawsville on the Christiansburg District


NS AC44C6M 4057 ( ex NS D9-40C 8791) leads southbound 153 through Buford, GA on the Greenville District


NS Dash-9 9823 leads 39Q past the doomed PRR signals at MG on the East Slope


NS Dash-9 9776 leads 177 southbound out of Atlanta w/ the skyline in the background

Nice, they look great. A friend found a set of MARC Comets in 3-rail for me (to be 2-railed) and then sometime later I found a 2-rail set myself; oddly they have different road numbers than the 3-railers. Plus I found a Metro North shell that I will use to convert one cab car to a coach to use as a leased car. That will give me a 6-car set. Someday, I hope to add a ConnDot coach to the mix of leases.

Wish Atlas would re-release them. They are nice cars - VERY long though!

They also released them as Amtrak Horizon cars, the major difference is the outside frame, drop-equalizer trucks. I once found a set of three of them still in the factory carton for $75.00.
