I have one of those low speed motor brackets on order, now just to wait and see when it gets here how much more useful it will be. Adds say it can be used to bring RPMs down to mid 300's range.

I'm not a railfan at all but I do have a thing for steam locos, especially the Union Pacific 4000 class. I bought some blueprints from the UP Historic Society a few years back and have been slowly working on doing up some of the parts in SolidWorks.I can really care less about the merger, and don't think the name will change, as the UP is historical and been around a lot longer then NS.
I am really a MoPac Missouri Pacific fan, and did research of the first of the big mergers back in 80's. When UP and MP merged, MoPac was the larger more solvent railroad but management wanted to stay with the UP name, as it had broader name recognition from its historic beginnings.
