That's great. They are a nice looking loco. You might want to choose another # though, cause 3601 has been done . I once saw another one {different#} but not sure if its in the library.
Good luck , looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looking forward to those NP units. For your info, 1st order of NP SD45's ran #'s 3600 to 3629. NP placed a 2nd order for sd45's but delivery did not take place until BN merger. So any number you use between 3600 to 3629 is true NP. Skip

RE: Comeing Soon... NP SD45's

do numbers a bit further apart, its rare to see locos that are one number apart unless theyre on their way from the factory....do like 3610 and 3619 or something like that...

Probably, but let him go because he has an Unpatched SSW GP60 in his signature.

What I meant by my post above was with a dash of sarcasm. They flamed UP6767 a while back for not proving the routes he was working on and I was just adding fuel to the fire. I doubt he's doing some NP SD45's. And why would you unhook your cpu?????

RE: Comeing Soon... NP SD45's

First of all I would like to THANK Shawn for the up date on the NP SD45 project. I was the person looking for someone to reskin a sd45 into NP colors, Shawn was kind enough to come forward. I quess I just cannot understand some of the postings that are so negative to this project and the person willing to take the time to do it. Most of us do not have the talent to produce the cars and power we would like to see in our Train activities. I hope we all can give Shawn the opportunity and help to create this unit. I would like to thank the gentleman from posting #13 with the fine detailing on the history of the NP SD45 unit numbers. Could you please post where you got your in depth info, I have been using NP Diesel Era 1945-1970 by Schrenk and Frey. Again Shawn, Thanks. Skip

Hiring freeze!!!!!!!!!!! Dude what kinda operation do you think you are running????? It really doesnt get that serious with all that virtual stuff. You can take it to a certain extent but that is way beyond the boundaries. But I guess there's nothing wrong with a lil fun.
