Steve, this is quite the list of custom runs! You’ve made my choice a little more difficult, might need to get a second job to get everything I want! Thanks for all you do!

Curious you are making a MoPac GP30 when they didn't have any. The engine in your picture, #653 is a GP35 not a GP30.

Will the Norfolk and Western engine have a big tender or just be a relettered standard tender.

Bummer! I wish that Mr. Muffins did the ALCo S2#5 shop switcher. It really has a colorful paint scheme.

The Alco #5 is actually an S-1 (very close to an S-2, difference mainly in the radiators and hood doors).

I haven't seen this publicized on the forum or this thread yet, but it was in an email newsletter - Mr. Muffin added "Delaware & Hudson" Alco S-2 #3021 to the custom run list. The current #3021 is actually an ex-Army S-2 in disguise as a Delaware & Hudson engine, owned by Raven Rail and in use on the Saratoga, Corinth, & Hudson Railway in New York. Coincidently, their other engine is Alco #5.

If tourist railroads aren't your thing, 3021 was also used on the Batten Kill Railroad for freight service, alongside their RS-3s and leased RS-36s.

Below are photos of the 3021 on the Batten Kill (October 2022), 5 on the SC&H (July 2022), and 3021 on the Saratoga & North Creek in 2012 (when it was #821), all photos taken by myself.
