The SP cab-forward #4294, photographed on Bob Hogan's layout, is a Southwind Models AC-12. It pulls a long string of Pacific Rail Shops R-40-24 PFE reefers, which were kits that Bob assembled and weathered. The Truckee local on the siding is a Smoky Mountain Model Works resin kit for a GE 70-tonner that Bob modified, detailed, painted, and lettered per Southern Pacific's actual #5119. The caboose behind it is a Gold Coast Railway brass C-30-1 model that he also painted and lettered. This photo appears on the inside cover of the March 2026 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine in the NASG promotional ad campaign.
