Scenery: City Park

Well last night I got to complete the City Park for my layout. Minus a few bushes here or there that I may add, it is now complete. Since the pictures from the other day, the fencing was added, statue and cannons, and the trees.

In the background is where my C&NW Terminal will be going, and on the rail with double bumpers, that will be the track to showplace some of my locomotives. The Park will double also as a Train Park.

C&NW #928 EMD SD40 Locomotive

Well the last couple of days I have really been giving our USPS lady a workout, packages and packages arriving for my layout. I added another diesel freight locomotive to the roster with a KATO Chicago & North Western #928 SD40. This model I had purchased used through a Facebook Group and already equipped with DCC. The following is borrowed from Don’s Depot . 928 was built in September 1966, #32099, FN 7912-8, as CGW 408. It became C&NW 928 in 1968. It was retired on September 25, 1987 and sold to Washington Corporation in November 1989. It was rebuilt for Corporate Leasing Inc as 3001. It then became MRL 3001 and was later renumbered 220. It was later transferred to I&M Rail Link as 220 in 1997 and sold as Iowa Chicago & Eastern 220 in July 2002. It was retired in February 2007 and scrapped by Jabco Industrial in March 2007.

C&NW #6847 EMD SD40-2 Locomotive

I am a little late on this post, but a few weeks ago I was able to add another diesel freight locomotive to my roster with the KATO Chicago & North Western #6847 EMD SD40-2. “As a prototype, the SD40-2 was the most popular second-generation diesel with sales of over 3000 in the U.S. and more than 700 in Canada. There were many variations of this popular diesel because of the long production run. “Early” units featured an 81” nose, chicken wire grills and a ratchet brake vs a brake wheel that would be found on later units. C&NW #6847 and #6858 would carry the “as delivered” paint scheme that adorns them through their entire operational life, with the #6847 remaining operational to this day at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.”
