Baby F-unit

Thanks! I had no clue!

BEEF...Baby Either E or F unit diesel. Actually made from a Kline tooling of Kline E-8 diesels with a new end cap.

BANG...when freight cars couple up in a yard...they go BANG.

BEEP...is a Baby Geep diesel, what EMD GP-7/9 diesel was called...a Geep

BUDDY...was for Budd Rail Diesel car and every layout needs a BUDDY.

BOPPER ...was for a Beer related covered hOPPER....but really was named for a great 50's era musician...The Big Bopper!

Names were created to make pronouncing the various RMT items easy for my little grandchildren to pronounce...and the names kind of stuck and created some new toy train 'lingo'.

Susie (and Walter)/RMT

INFORMATIVE, AMUSING and THANKS!
