For a moment there, I thought that the Shifter was number 1000, with the number plate in Roman numerals.

Thanks WKS
I've taken quite a few good photos of Ephrata Valley RR locomotives recently, as I continue to improve on my custom locomotive skills and continue to receive awesome pieces from the Anderson Shops. I then edited these photos for semi-realism. Hope you all enjoy. By the way, if you want to see more of these photos, please follow me on Instagram at: rp_model_railroads

Thanks Chops. Yes, that siding doesn't get much use, it is mainly a display track.
