"Wow, that will be awesome for Providence & Worcestor fans!"

Otto, you misunderstood. This engine is modeled for fans of the little-known "fallen flag" Providence and Worcestor Railroad, which until 1988 had active daily freight service between Rhode Island and South Africa. I would have thought a railroad trivia expert such as yourself would have picked up on that right away.

Congratulations to the Providence & Worcestor modelers, and I'd love to come over and see the layout once you've got it set up. :-)

haha Well that's great. So I made a type-o, big deal, don't have to make fun of me :(. It would have been worse however if I'd actually lived in Worcester. Being as I live in Maine, I can make such a mistake, with minimal embarrassment. However, I did check the spelling online prior to making the model and I saw it listed on one of my resource sites as "Wocestor". If I see it I'll show it to you.

At least you didn't spell it Worchester!

Well yes I agree with that, however I was aiming more towards P&W fans (Hense the topic of this thread) instead of Virtual Train fans, so I thought posting it in here would be better, because not all P&W fans may look at that forum.

By posting it in here may have been better as a P&W fan pointed out my mistake in the spelling, saving me.... ego points? (Or loads on car insurance)
So I think that will justify the reason for this thread being here.

A good place to learn about P&W would be from the source... www.pwrr.com. As they say, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet!"

Thanks for the info. Any pictures with Logos would help a bunch as well. Thanks. I appologize for my errors in posting and the model. Thank you for pointing them out.

I noticed something, but tiss a small detail. B39-8E is a railfan creation and not the official designation of B39-8.
