Roadtrip

This past weekend had to run to Ft Worth for a NMRA meeting and had a chance to run by the FWWR Hodge Yard for a photo opp. Last December I heard that the FWWR had purchased 3,  GP40-2's from NRE. I caught the first one last December at Hodge Yard, FWWR 2020. This unit is ex NREX 4631, originally SCL 1536 a GP40.


Saturday I caught the second one FWWR 2021. This unit is ex RMPX 6407, originally DTI 407.


From what I understand these three units will be repainted into FWWR color's in the spring. As per the usual these units will receive names but I have no idea what they will be. Would like to recreate these units for the layout with this current paint scheme, I like the uniqueness of the schemes.

Also while at the yard heard a horn blow and relized that they were creating a train and got some overhead shots of  2001 and 2002.


After the meeting was over I went by Everman to get some more phots of Mrs Bairs Warehouse and take a look at this structure so I can start building it. Hope to start this weekend. Also had the Granson in town and was able to run some trains with him. Overall it was a great weekend
