Model made by Atlas, prototype built 12/01/1954 and painted Maroon / Gold Pine Tree, this engine got the Red / White paint sheme in September 1970. May 1975 it was sold (Sold to Hyman-Michaels Co. Resold to Maryland & Delaware Railroad, renumbered 21. Then sold to the Morristown and Erie RR in New Jersey from the Pook Valley, somebody's 1:1 "pet" railroad in NJ. It was their number 21.) to Westport Terminal RR.

And I had the idea that this engine was used by Soo Line. The engine should be scraped. But Westport Terminal RR needed a switcher. So they bought this engine and painted only the name.

This engine must get an ESU sound decoder.

For better sound I made a real exhaust!

The ESU sound decoder found it's place where the old printed board was.

Glued with epoxy on the motor.

The LED needed some work. It has to shortend.

The twin speaker next to the shortend LED.

Ready to shut!

Now, this engine earns it's money again. Someday it will get a new paint coat. (I guess: never!)

Busy with switching, sometimes working a turn, just: good for all duties.
