Model Railroading > SP B/W GP9 5687, BW RS11 5725, and BW GP9 5629Date: 08/09/20 20:42 SP B/W GP9 5687, BW RS11 5725, and BW GP9 5629 Author: FiveChime Today at Randall Museum Model Railroad in San Francisco.
Two new Athearn Gensis Geeps could not handle 20 car up the grade which was disappointing so had to add Rapidio RS11. Note different SP side lettering on 5629 and 5678, both look good.

Nice Black Widow models otherwise (unless they are a little light)! -Benjamin Date: 08/10/20 19:45 Re: SP B/W GP9 5687, BW RS11 5725, and BW GP9 5629 Author: FiveChime Randall grade is 1.5-1.8%
