If no one else comes forward with one, I have the SHS SW-1 that I could take up to the Twin Cities the next time I can get to a Plains and Prairies group meetingfor someone there to photograph.

The Soo caboose will be used in a short article of what is available when modeling the Soo for the S Sig. As you know there's darn few items that apply. I have/own AM first boxcar, a PRS 40 box that I lettered with Cd lettering, the old WC Soo stockcar, I have two of your PRS's ACF's, two SHS's maroon PS-2's, a brass airslide (that I think I bought from you), and a SHS bulkhead flat. I don't own the PRS DD 50' box, nor any other AM car's (gondola or plug door or two tone box--but they're not that important right now. However the caboose is seemlingly the only thing that a Soo modeler would have to own. One of the benefits of putting this online is that it can be changed/updated fairly easily...so if you might be finishing up in a few months we could add that to the mixture. I was also going to ask you to shoot a decent shot of your FP-7 in the red/white assuming you still have it. I do have a shot of the all red SD-60's from AM for the modern guys plus the EVC caboose, so the modern part is somewhat presentable. My needing a AM CD hopper is for my own use. I plan on doing two in the Milwaukee's bright yellow with 'Americas Resourceful Railroad' on the side--I have a light gray one and stripped it last weekend. I've got decals on order with Odd'sBall, if they ever come. So I was looking to buy one for my railroad... actually for our modules. I have two U-boats painted for the MILW and hope to get a SD-45 when they come out--got to move some harvest you know! So what I really need is photos of anything Soo Line specific that we have in S. I can either borrow them or really just need decent photos. With the covered hopper, I'm looking to purchase one that I can easily repaint--actually the ADM I have is nice, but I've got too many hoppers now so when I add the Milwaukee versions, I'll be in trouble!

Also, I took your advice and bought a case of the undec hoppers when they were on sale. I really don't need what ever else you had there as I have some Kohmar decals to do them up in. Drop me a note and let me know what the objective is. I might have something you could borrow. I know I already have a SOO colormark car done. These were going to be more of the same. Ken
