New GP-9 552 arrives on the property

Our new Soo Line GP-9 #552 arrived on the property on 03 December 2014. It was rebuilt for us by David Newell of Mt. Pleasant Wisconsin.

It took a little work to get our older MDM F-7 to MU with the GP-9 but David figured out how to make all the connections so we are now able to MU the two together.

This You Tube video was made back in December and now that our signals are working we are anticipating having a meet here on our modest half mile track.

AIRBORNE!

Beautiful GP-9, Ray. I love the looks of the GP-9s. They just look like they are ready to tackle anything you can throw at them.

Thank you San Juan, we certainly are enjoying it. I will post a few photos of it and the F-7 MUed together as soon as the weather gets to a reasonable temperature so we can go out and play.

This engine certainly has some nice details, and I am in process of getting the foul weather cab for the engineer's side as well as the rerail frogs for the sides.
