Re: (erielack) New EL and Erie prototypes!!!!

First of all I applaud the whole project, I'm not bashing it, just going to 
 point out a few things.   Sure it's their RR, and the can and will do  
what ever they want,  but when public outcry came  with using a bucket  as a 
toilet they listened .  When Perry Shoemaker heard what everyone had  to say 
about the Gray Ghost paint scheme he scrapped it.  Strength is in  numbers.
 
If there were NO railfan's, and NO  train photographers, do you think  they 
would be going through all this?
 
I'll go on record for saying the ELHS should sent Mr Moorman an official  
letter stating they are very pleased that he is doing heritage units and  
that they look forward to seeing  the Erie and EL units, but that they  are 
also very disappointed in not seeing a Lackawanna unit.
 
My 3 cents.

I agree  with Tim here - they did a nicely balanced selection of roadnames.
And  sorry for those who are grousing about the lack of a DL&W unit, but  
the
EL paint scheme is the DL&W passenger scheme - seriously! Don't  forget, 
this
is THEIR railroad and they have the right to choose whatever  they want to
paint. And it is NOT a public organization that's beholden to  the general
population. This railfan "entitlement" attitude is just that.  Don't we
already have some beautifully restored and operational DL&W  freight scheme
F-units? I know of exactly *NO* accurately restored and  operational EL
units.
