Hey Guys:
Some one on here a while back expessed a love (?) for EMD BL2's My Mom used to say of such things "it's so ugly, it's cute!"
Well that would be a BL2. The Saratoga and North Creek RR will be begininng service on the old D&H northern sector in the future with two BL2's in a scheme reminiscent of the old D&H Blue and Yellow Thunderbolt scheme, so here's a pic I found to enjoy!

| That's a nice paint scheme. Always liked the BL2 - as you say, it's so odd I almost can't help it.

Kinda like it to, Tony> My favourite was the all Red Rock island. Liked it slightly more than the Red/Black RI.

Alright! TWO more back on the road (er, rails)! Sweet! I think Burlington likes them as well, I have about 15-20? in my collection, mostly AHM but a couple Proto's, too. And 2 LifeLike N gauge versions.  Ran my WM Proto last Saturday at our Open House, glad I (re)found it again.
Thanks for this info, I'll have to check it out. Probaby too far out west for me to visit right now, but there is a Tourist train in West Virginia that has one,too, I'll have to go check that one out eventually in person. Love BL-2's !

It kinda figures that a guy who loves Gremlins would like BL2's?

Yes, I do! Gremlins and BL-2's are the same - you either love'em or hate'em, there's not much in between when it comes to certain things. Here's a partial showing of my collection -
Oops, that was the Gremlin collection, here's the BL-2 -
Yeah...I like'em alot!
