Your Alco F's are beautiful - second or third great set of Alco F repaints in just a couple of weeks. But unless I miss my guess, this power set if far from home - isn't that the Raton Pass route?How 'bout some info on the PRR's Alco F's, unless they're fictional - like the number purchased, where they worked and for how long?

Believe it or not I've never heard that "later, sooner", John. It's like when you meet a guy named Ben Dover or something and you laugh when he's introduced and he looks puzzled and you realize he's never had it pointed out that his name is comical.
Hehe, sooner or later you were bound to hear it! BTW, I concurrently worked with a "Richard Hoyt" and a "Richard Wick". Truth is stranger than fiction... John Roth
I used to work at a New York carpet world store when I was young and we honestly had a vice-manager named Dick Eulick.Although my favorite fictional one is Stewart Pidasso......ie Stu Pidasso!!!Longhairedwizard
