Here's a better look at my fleet. The two Southern Pacific units are numbered correctly for the UP, but I couldn't bring myself to put the yellow patch on them. So they maintain their full SP livery, but numbered for the UP. Only thing I did do was add the UP shield below the cabs. This is also what I've done with all my Rio Grande units. Shows they are a separate railroad, yet still owned by the UP. Nearly all the units are up to date numbers for the UP. However, there are a couple B40-8s and a couple SD60s that have yet to be renumbered. The two C&NW units, one SD60 and that dirty C40-8 will be patched too. Also, yes, that old Rio Grande is an SD9 with an F7 cab. Think of it as a 1st Generation safety cab. As for the yard itself, all switches are Peco's with Atlas flex track. Track is first painted, then ballasted, and finally weathered. The structures are Pikestuff kits for the most part, while the tower is scratch built. The fueling and sanding tracks are some old modified Bachmann Plus kits (now sold by Heljan), and the billboard lettering and big UP shield are from Blair Line.
