Thanks Dick for the nice comment and clarifying what engine the SDL39 is. My original notes it as a SD-20, looks like that is incorrect. Un-usual 6 axle engine non the less, always liked the "beefy" look with the small body and lots of wheels!

As for the question in Watermarking (not you Dick), yes, it protects the photos from some (no one on this forum that I am aware of, but I always protect). Found many of my photos from years ago on eBay by a gent who sells under 5 different names.

I love eBay, just not some of the un-savory types that sell stuff that is not there property.

I appreciate seeing the Milwaukee Road from the perspective of other modlers and fans.

The Milwaukee has been growing on me since the early 60's.

You buy a ticket and take that ride, whether it be via modeling or aboard private varnish.

The Morning Hiawatha is always on time!

Thanks to "The Friends of the 261" in helping me secure some of the images.

If the model manufacturers didn't see fit to build a particular model that I need to complete the image, I've bit the bullet and undertook the project sailing through colored pictured Milwaukee history books for ideas. Networking with local railroad molders, I've managed to create a few items that the Milwaukee shops would have been proud of.

Passenger or freight,my version of "The Road" is still in business.
