Nice collection, I like those! ::tu:: ::tu::

Got some pics of a BNSF coal train, a few days ago at a rural crossing. The pusher loco was still in the paint scheme used prior to the current one. I think I prefer the older one with the yellow lettering.

Nice BNSF! I have a Lionel Santa Fe diesel, blue and yellow, from the pre-merger days with Burlington Northern. ::hmm:: Come to think of it, my dad had a Tyco Burlington diesel in the red with white stripes and gray roof paint scheme.

Great modelling skills. Everyone, don't be afraid to post model trains. They are after all part of a Train Enthusiasts passion. ::nod::
