Cincinnatis district 7 nmra club had a swap meet today and I picked up 2 Bachman spectrum Dash8-40CW (conrail), an undec.spectrum Dash8-40C and a undec proto 2000 SD60! the two wide cabs were a total of $60.00  and the other two were $55.00 all together!!! WOW I maybe a little excited but that was a good day for me lol  just wanted to share with everyone my luck!!! Plus I know how hard it is to find 4 engines for $115.00 that's almost a new one from a hobby shop ....

Speaking of which... I have a Conrail SD50.  I do not know whether I should paint it in the HH scheme as a SD40E or just use number patch and leave it in the Conrail paint? What do you think?

I'd go HH    the pic that dash9 showed me in the post I asked about them looks good and Ive always liked the a/c on top! that's what Im doing      IMG_0184.JPG

Yes... I like the a/c too... but I am still torn over what to do. Maybe I will think about it a little longer.
