I've got about a third of a foot in the Milwaukee camp. I purchased two of Chuck's Milwaukee Alco RS-3s at the Duluth convention. I've also been held back because I was focusing on layout building and have been afraid of real kitbashing and painting. Now the railroad is in the process of being scrapped because we are moving and I've taken a tentative step into kitbashing with my (stalled) attempt to convert a Lionel autorack to S.
I changed course when SSA came out with the coal porters and have taken on more of a modern-to-contemporary interest along with a little squinting to make it seem more so. Now Lionel comes out with both a u-boat in Milwaukee and a modern SD in BNSF. What's a guy supposed to do? Take out a payday loan? I had a plan that I could run a dual era layout. Or I could imagine that Milwaukee never bit the dust. It goes with the squinting thing. Ben --- In [email protected], Bob Werre <bob@...> wrote: > > Michael, > > Great progress with the GP-20.
