Well if I can do that I will go back to my other plan and that is an Sn3 Garratt. All I need is two old PFM K-27. That would be an L-54 would it not? Can see it now RGS # 500 coming out of the Rico engine house and I know one guy on my crew would go off the deep end and never run it if I ever get it done. Model railroading is fun isn't it.
