Please wait for more.
This is almost MSI part II.
This is my effort to get Cornelius Vanderwreck to visit Chicago.

ITT: The Dream, Plan, Build series. What do you think?
Personally, I liked it at first. The first few DVDs had a very varied selection of Toy Trains, Very nice Model Railroads, some interesting prototype information, and of course modelling tips.
The later DVDs though, I'm not impressed. The "Real Rails" sub-series has WAY too much repeated footage, sometimes one right after the other. The one on Coal showed the same NS coal train bounce over the same switch at least 3 times, as well as interview quotes being repeated. And WAY too much time was spent on NS, the only CSX was a single 20-year old clip, and they spent about 5 minutes on BNSF and UP.
What does /r/ think?
Transnet has 212 new diesel-electric locomotives in the pipeline – to the extent that it is currently negotiating their purchase with Electromotive (EMD) in the United States. A figure of R6 billion has been mentioned, but exactly how numbers like this are affected by the see-sawing Rand-dollar exchange rate remains unclear. Also, it is understood the talks envisage an option to increase the order to 400 units. Presumably an adjustment of this order would require a further boost to Transnet’s already substantial capital expenditure budget. what they do not say what class and show us any photographs of what we are getting
