I have the greatest idea ever

Someday, when I'm rich and famous, and I can buy a warehouse, I'm going to model the entire Lake Superior & Ishpeming railway in N-scale. I calculated the overall length to be around 700 feet.Go me. :-P"The F59PHI and Genesis are the lamest excuses for locomotives Amtrak has ever operated - accept it and move on.

Dave, its BHP Iron Ore have placed an order for 16 ACe's. They wanted ES44AC's (because thier current fleet consists of 85% GE), they went to GE with the idea and some modifications to deal with 120 F temps, and GE said "get stuffed". Thus, they ordered ACe's as a lack of options. They are expected to be built in June 2005.BHPIO and Hamersley Iron are about 1000km north from where I live, a nice long day trip (one way) to get up there!!!!>Mike Forster<
