Hi All; On the front cover of Model Railroader Special Issue - Railroading Planning 2002, is a pic of a UP Nr. X69 diesel. Does anyone know what this model is?An identification of this pic would be greatly appreciated.Cheers; Chuck f.

X69 was one of Union Pacific's "veranda" gas turbine engines, built by GE. You can find a lot of information by doing a "google.com" search for GE veranda turbine. Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.Mark

Hi Mark; Thanks for your reply. I suspected something like that, but the actual pic of the model I think is someone's kit-bashing attempt, rather than an HO production model. The model would look great on a layout, but not very realistic.Cheers; Chuck F.
