Hi, all,

FYI, since over on the 'FM' section of this forum was so helpful, I wanted to post here that launched for April Fools Day yesterday, you can go and celebrate the Fairbanks Morse Trainmaster and it's fictional role on the Santa Fe's transcontinetal main line in Arizona:

Please feel free to enjoy as the URL below, hope you enjoy the show, I trust you will find it readable, enjoyable, and close enough to historically accurate to make it worth your time:

Much of the research on the FM OP engine came from the previous posts in this particular forum (that were here before the migration to the new software)

Thx for the previous education in the previous posts, it made our article much more historically pleasant to read!

You can see more about the various 4/1/04 fun that happened at:
