Western Pacific F Unit Gathering on the Sierra Northern


 

Over the past few weeks I've been converting SHS F7A's and AM F7B's into Western Pacific freight units from WP's first EMD F7 order of 1951. Here's a gathering of WP F's that include three A-B-B lash ups of freight F7's, an A-B-B set of passenger California Zephyr F3's and one of WP's initial order of FT units (Overland brass).? All of the first A and B units are modified SHS models while the trailing second B units are unpowered AM models with details/handrails added to bring them up to SHS standards.

Yes a nice scene, but it also could be understood that the WP is in the middle of a strike!? As that appears to be a large chunk of their
actual roster!

Hi Bob --

You are having way too much fun!? ?Neat!

Bob is right. And sometimes a strike is the only instrument some employers will understand. Being a labour union's member by myself I've learned some things the hard way...

Heartful greetings from Middle Franconia, Hans


 

If you have a model railroad you also may be on the ownership/management side?????? ? Stan
