Yummy! Would be tough to do effectively though.

I wonder what people would do if you flew a flag on a flagpole in that condition...

Looks like it may have followed an ALCo diesel or steam through a short tunnel once ;D .

And everybody used to complain how grungy SP diesels were. Doesn't seem that youpee knows where the washracks are, either.

Bob in IDaho, in youpee and IN&P country, and couldn't care less.

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

In the tunnels at altitude and not pure air getting to prime movers, even EVO and Ace units smoke. Those units look like they need a good trip thru the wash rack, but in one trip, they can look that bad again. BTW, bio-diesel leaves a grungier film on semis than regular diesel. Many truck washes now charge extra for "bio-grunge". Seems like everything "greener" is dirtier. I'm losing 2MPG with 5% ethanol in gas...that's got to be good for the enviroment. :P
