List: For some reason I'm under the impression that Atlas offered 4 versions of their RS1 model for M&StL in HO Scale. I have the Shroeder Red version, the...
Pretty sure Atlas never did the final color scheme as found on 1150 (230). If they had I'd have one. Louis ************************************** Get a sneak...
In "a sense", Atlas did a fourth RS1, but most of us wouldn't want it. It was CNW with MStL division on the cab. An authentic paint job and looks like the...
Was in Albert Lea not too long ago and the depot is in derelict condition. Many of the glass brick bloxcks broken out and all of the windows boarded over....
Looking through some of the photos in old stockholder's repoprts, I notice that the number boards on F7s originally had both the number and the letter of the...

The CNW job with the M&STL sublettering was 212. For some reason I have one. Louis ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL...
Just a reminder that the F7s did not have the A and C designation in the number boards until 1954. Using A and C for A units was common with a number of ...
I built one example myself before Atlas brought their C&NW/M&StL version out, No. 231. I believe the actual 231 worked in my hometown once, in the late 1960's,...
Gentlemen, I just realized that I haven't received a digest from this list in a while. I must've somehow been kicked off... Anyway, I just posted to the...
Gene-- Thanks for the response. I should have said does anyone have any plans for doing something with this depot? It is a shame to see it so vandalized....
Terry Folkerts who is a member of the Steamboat Rock Historical Society of which I'm also a member, e-mailed me and said that he had a picture of the Abbott...
John thanks for the photo. I don't see any evidence that you have been "kicked off the list", banned, or are currently bouncing. Nor does it appear you were...
I received my issue of NWL today. There was quite a bit of nice coverage of the contest models including pictures of most of the modelers themselves. It is...
Louis modestly failed to mention that he has an article in the same NWL on the home-made, all-weather windows that the M&StL put on the Alco RS- 1s. Joe...
For the majority on this list, most of you witnessed the Louie in it's heyday. I was exposed to the Louie in my hometown, via the Chicago & North Western,...
Thanks for the kudos, Gene and others. The credit needs to be spread around a bit, though, to members of this group. While a project is mine to complete, I...
Keith: your post makes me feel a bit guilty. Here you appreciate what little you saw in the CNW era. The guilt comes from the fact that I almost gave up on...
Funny you should mention that, Louis. I had a similar feeling: I can recall the day that the "Minneapolis Star" came to the neighbor's door with a color photo...

John, ... I have to concur with Doug, since I had a huge list of posts to read when coming back from vacation in late August. Looks like the sun never set on...
When the red & white units starting coming through Chapin I remember that I didn't like them. Still don't. That's just a value judgement, of course. M&StL...
Yellow and green (or green and yellow) plus various shades of other colors on RS1s may be our favorite scheme, but the coca cola colors are still a lot better...
A value judgement. Reminds me of when I became the chief executive at my last career stop. They had me go through one of those psychological evaluations and...
