American modellers are so lucky as there are tons of really high quality stuff out there for the US RTR market for about a third of the British RTR price, lets face it our stuff is way overpriced! once again how we are ripped off in Britain 
Lovely models by the way Jordan Also: Should I post my lima 33 coversion thread here??? :lol: :wave:

OH Yeah!!!Jordan said:
You don't have to look at this section, Rob, if you can't cope with the stress...
For starters, here's one I made earlier...
Not all Soo locos were white'n'red, though... this is going to be my next loco; an Ex-Milwaukee Road GP40. Soo spared no expense on the re-livery, as you can see...

I like the SOO livery, I had a look at the society there's a lot of good information there, i rather liked these drawings http://www.sooline.org/publications/drawings/locomotives/locomotives.html. I am less keen on the EWS livery though

Okay guys, History Lesson Time...
SOO... The original Railroad was called the Minneapolis, St Paul and Sault Sainte Marie, in the 1880s. This is a bit of a mouthful, admitedly. Sault Sainte Marie is a town in Michigan's Upper Peninsular which is on both sides of the Saint Mary's River which is also the border between USA & Canada, so the town is in two halves and two Countries...
With me so far?
The town was called Sault Sainte Marie by the French who settled it... "Sault" is French for 'rapids' and is pronounced "sue" or, as Americans can't spell#, "soo".... the area around the town became known as The Soo, so the Railroad that went there became called "The Soo Line".....
*Seemples*
:lol:
# e.g. "aluminum" instead of "aluminium", "color" instead of "colour" etc etc etc...
