Williams CN RS-3

i like it. is it scale size? how does it look pulling traditional size cars?

I'm kind of partial to those old things...I really like it and I believe  WBB is the only one that has the  early paint job......... nice!   As far as the thing running backwards,  it happened every day  on way freights  on dead end branch lines and for that matter on the main line as well. If that's the way it was headed on the shop track , away you'd go.

Thx for posting

LOOKS NICE!!! I have sone MTH of the later models  used by CN.

Pops! by the power invested in me (none) I here by declare you an honorary Canadian. You have a lot of CN stuff.

I just saw this tonight. As I look at the damage I think I would like driving it long vose forwaes. Take a look.

TFM 1623 seems to have borne the brunt of the damage from a low speed, head on collision that occurred on the Union Pacific "Rabbit Line" in Keithville, Louisiana (12/30/13). A siding switch was left open as a CXS powered general freight and a TFM/BNSF powered coal unit train passed in Keithville (20 miles south of Shreveport) and the lead units struck head on. This locomotive was damaged by cars derailing on the coal unit train. One crew member was hospitalized with minor injuries.

I'm not sure if the RS-3 is scale, a traditional Lionel or Williams GP-9 are the same length.  I think traditional Lionel 6464 look a little small with it, but I always thought they looked small behind the GP-9's.  I'm running my engine with Weaver wood sided boxcars and MTH Railking boxcars, both are a little larger.  They look fine to me.

Gregg why thank you!!!!  I just happen to live close to a CN mainline and also have a CN Yard in my town.
