Long Time Between Posts...

There has been a lull of activity here on the blog as business has been great at Mark's Model Railservices. A few items in the modeling world to take note of include the new release from Roundhouse of 4-6-2 Pacific locos. I am interested to see what they have done to upgrade the original Genesis release years ago. Can the 2-8-2 be far behind? Dennis Storzek has a paper posted in the Yahoo group "Soo History" files dedicated to making one of these old Genesis Mikes into a F-22 class Soo 2-8-0. It is something I would love to try soon. Currently I use a Spectrum model that has been heavily modified to match the Soo loco. The boiler is too large in diameter though. It is a nice running model and captures the look of the original, but I would sure like something even closer! What have you done as a Soo modeler to model Soo steam? Do you have a good model match for your favorites road's steamers? Any comments welcomed.
