Hey Claus,
Espeefan sure does refer to the Southern Pacific's report marks, SP.
Common to see SP spelled out Espee by those who like it. Probably my favorite RR. To bad the UP bought it out. I also am a huge Santa Fe and Rio Grande fan, also fallen flags now.
What scale do you model in? Looks like O scale. Like those Atlas? GP60s!
My Precision collection consists of the IH 1066 white and black stripe tractors, the 1086 white stripe, and the 3688 2+2. I cannot wait for the 5488! Been begging for one of those for years! I guess we share similar interests.
