B-Boat Fever! Welcome SP B30-7 7850...

New Equipment Delivery 3-2-2017

I must admit I seem to have a case of B-Boat fever!  The fourth new 4-axle GE to join the Meridian Speedway stable this year arrived today in the form of Atlas B30-7 SP 7850.  LokSound equipped, this unit looks great with sister B30-7 SP 7823!

The SP 7823 and SP 7850 are the only two sound-equipped SP B30-7s available from Trainworld.  It looks like I will have to find another source to supply me with the remaining two numbers, SP 7777 and SP 7788.  Yes I have B-Boat fever and there is no cure!

As usual a couple of freight cars were part of the order.  I came across SOU 50127 and NAHX 90401 while looking at the specials on the Trainworld website.  My intermodal fleet is woefully small and the Southern car was impossible to pass up.  As for the NAHX hopper car, well there is no such thing as too many "data only" hoppers and tank cars in the era I am modeling.

Must find more GE's!!!
