Hi there, Harold Emerick had some Baby Mac decals made up. He has some photos in the Members Album here on this site. His email address should be listed some...
The battery box covers are different as well, but again it is a minor detail depending on how picky your are. Also I think it was 3009 that remained in black...
... Alaska GP40-2. I think Athearn makes both an early (3001-3008, and 3009-3011 as delivered) and late (3012, and 3013-3015 as delivered) version of the...
... The "Bold Alaska" unit in the lead is in its as delivered scheme as is the black and yellow unit. The ARR changed from black and yellow to the bold Alaska...
Paul, I don't know why, except the railroad quit using the "class number" on locomotives, perhaps so the number series 3001-3015 reflected the number of units...
... Seems plausible to me. Thanks for the detailed information about the units are rebuilds. I usually don't follow along that closely, but found it all very...
Jason, Wasn't 3021 former 2503 and then renumbered 3051 (or the other way around)? If so, 3021/3051 would be better modeled by a Kato GP-35 wouldn't it? Bob ...
Just to add a bit to what Jason and others have said. 3000 was renumbered to 3006 almost immediately upon arrival. ARR had a philosophy adjustment in that...
That will teach me to not quote road numbers from memory and not looking up the info before posting. Thank you for correcting my road numbers Jason. I was...
Here is a run down of what paint scheme each locomotive is in. 3001-3008 is currently in the old black and yellow scheme. 3009-3011 are sporting the new "Baby...
... I passed these questions on to a senior ARR employee. Leroy, if you choose to model 3016-3020, you may want to have some of the paint peeling! ;-) John...
... I got one and have been very impressed with performance, and all steal wheel sets. If you want an Alaska #152 all it takes is a larger stack and some...
I bought one too..and as my wife is sufficiently in love with the Xmas motiff, I won't be spraying it flat black for a while, it runs great...it looks a bit...

Hi all While writing my story on the creation of the Sutton-Palmer Model Railroad, (http://alaskamodelrrnews.homestead.com/SP.html) a couple questions have...

I received my copies of the new Athearn HO SD70MAC's yesterday. Really nice. They include more ARR typical details, like the winterization hatch, extra...
Paul, I haven't gotten one yet, but if your interested in the correct detailing go with the Athearn. The Kato is a BN prototype. I believe the tracking...
Paul, Yeah, if you want detail go with the Athearn, if you want reliability, go with the Kato. I know someone with a newer SD70M from Athearn and it has the...
I had problems with the Athearn SD75M's. I have 34" radius on the mainline but the trucks would "hunt". Paul Duncan ... __________________________________ Do...
Marty posed the question as to why the ARR stuck with the steap grade up to the Jonesville mine complex and never invested in geared locomotives. The...
Pat...thanks for the interesting info...I had thought that the Sutton-Jonesville-Eska-Chickaloon branch was gone without a trace...altho I saw your boneyard...
