Hi Gary: I do not know if I'm operating any of the old Indiana Hi-Rail engines. 99% of the time I run Alco C-420's. Rarely, I'll run a T-6.
Did the Indiana Hi-Rail dispose of either of those models? It would be good to meet, you, too. Maybe "one of these days" I can attend an S scale meet in the midwest or something and meet some of these hoodlums that hang out here.
