Very nice models, I hope to have one in On3 some day. Some friends are looking at doing a kit.

My D&RGW engineer friend, Frank Wright, fired OO on one of its first runs. It was still lettered CF&I AB2. Frank said they called it "able too" as it was so much better than Rotary ON. Frank was engineer on 487 on one of OO's last runs.

Rotary OO with engines 487 and 485. (Frank Wright engineer on 487)
Consist: OK flanger, Rotary OO, 2 cabs
