This visitor is a locomotive that Andy Knott won in an NMRA raffle, he always buys tickets but this is his first win, which happened to be the first prize.

Union Pacific #8334 is an EMD SD70ACe seen here in the east yard at Benson.

I have always thought the Union Pacific livery attractive and as the UP had tracks in Arkansas I bought an EMD GP40-2 for working on my layout.

#1349 is seen here at Colonel’s Crossing spotting a Rock Island covered hopper at the Farmer’s Coop elevator.

Barmouth 1958.

58xx Class 0-4-2T No 5801 basks in the warm July sun prior to working its next duty.

 

The giveaway to it being a model is the depth of field is too good for a vintage photo- superb.

And the missing tie bar on the front brake hanger...

 

If you look hard enough there are other ways in which the model doesn't quite look like the prototype- the plastic cab sheets are thicker than scale steel, the wheel centres are different etc 

BUT this doesn't take anything away from the fact this is a superb photograph that will more than stand inspection from the majority of folks who aren't nit pickers like you and me......

Having now got one UP locomotive on the roster I bought another to to keep her company.

This version though is a GP40x #95, in reality built to try out some experimental updates that might be applied to later models. She is seen here in west yard at Benson coupled behind my standard GP40-2. The most obvious external differences are she has different trucks and flared radiator air intakes.
