Jon,

Nice rental!

I see you have it running on your upper level. Here is a photo of it running on UP's upper level.
Image

UP 8006, EMD SD9043AC, 4300 Horse Power, one of 307 owned by Union Pacific.

F.Y.I.: 8006 is not a leased unit. How did RailForce obtain it for you? If its stolen, UP may be looking for it. I can see "The Great Locomotive Chase--2006" in your future.

The last engine does have the flag scheme. Its hard to tell because it needs a bath and photo conversion to jpg lost some resolution.

Hev, That was some right-fine snoop-doggin' on your part!!! Who would have thought a Pennsy M1 Mountain builders plate would have wound up down here of all places? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Your engineer friend was correct, also!! On the back it's stamped with either a 7448 or a 1448 as best as I can tell.

Jon,The PRR M1's were numbered 6800-6999. The M1a's 6700-6799 . The first M1 was built by the PRR and was 4700 then renumbered 6699. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Roger! This morning some more polishing revealed another piece of the puzzle!! It looks like 1448 then a 1 over a 4 followed by an E191.

Jon, forget the number, it's the face of Christ that's what you should be concentrating on. Anyone like gin and tonic?
