I've missed some of them a few times here in Eastern PA so that was one of my driving reasons to just register for the event in Spencer on July 3-4 to see them all in one place.   I figure its worth the drive and the cost to bag em all in one big hit.

Some units are going back to the paint shop for corrections. You N&W fans get your opinion across!

As we at ERN reported 05/29

The Pennsy unit needs a little fix-up too...  Stripes connected to the circle around the keystone on the side, no circle around the front and back keystones...

PRR unit should be pulling into Strasburg sometime today along with one of the F-7's and a couple of cars.

Been parked at the RR Museum since yesterday at about 3PM.  PRR unit, one of the A units and a B unit of the F's, the exhibit car and one OCS car.

Apparently these sent the NKP unit back to the paint shop to fix the font used on the cab numbers from one serif font to another serif font that is more correct. Yikes. This stuff is starting to split hairs a bit.

Will be cool to see them all together though.

Dunno if these actually count as "heritage units" since they are borrowed, but it's still neat.

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

Check out the Virginian ACE on Railpictures. Not my favorite, but still nice.

I like it, but I thought the virginian was yellow and blue, not yellow and black?
