Big Blue Roster
With the help of the Railwire crew—in particular Ed Kapuscinski, a member of the Conrail Historical Society—I've been able to assemble a reasonably authentic train to run through my wasteland. Indeed, this will be the most prototypically accurate roster I've ever assembled—and may in fact remain so. To be honest, it's never been a priority of mine, but for this project I thought it might be fun, especially given the enthusiastic support I'm receiving from the Railwire crew; I've even been offered a FRED as a "thank you" for maintaining my modeling websites.

One thing is certain: this will force me to dig my airbrush out of storage and figure out a way to deliver some air to it, since rattle cans just won't cut it for weathering rolling stock.
