WP/GN Inside Gateway Trains
Author: FiveChime

Progress so far on my 1970 Inside Gateway trains.

Need a few more F's for the WP train and a few SP&S and GN units for the C636 demo powered train.

HO photos at the Carquinez Model Railroad Society layout in Crockett, California.

Regards, Jim Evans

Jim, that first picture looks almost real:-) Those F's look good. Genesis?

The weathering on the units in the first photo is amazing. Also, the scenery is some of the best I have ever seen!

That bridge in the background looks fabulous, I'd like to see more pictures of just that!

Interesting use of WP passenger F's after the CZ.

Very cool Jim.

That looks like a rare Leslie S5D fivechime on the lead FP7 in the 2nd pic
of the Genesis WP units :-)

Do I see an SP&S C636 in your motive power fleet soon?
Those Bruts had a look all to their own like the Demo units.

To the best of my knowledge the WP FP7's had Nathan M5 air horns on the engineer's side and a Leslie A200 facing the rear on the Fireman's side.

804-A and 805-D had prototype Leslie S5D horns. Only two of which are known to exsist today.

The S5D was Leslie's attempt to create the Nathan M5 sound.

Leslie S5D from 804-A.
