* Another view with the cab almost done. My first attempt to make a removable roof failed. I did make a very nice frame with a roof attached. My mistake was to use thicker plastic for the roof. It looked very good but next morning it had straightened out breaking the whole removable roof.
This view is from after the disaster.

Because the engineer was hidden in a cab with windows of this style, I made the center and the rear window one. I am done with this loco for now but will go back and reshape the large read windows a little better. Like always another project for a friend has started.
* Here is the finished for now bell of the eighties.

I actually looked it up to see if there was an actual ECI railroad, your paint scheme is so plausible. Love the proto-freelance concept.

And the F units pull the Passenger Train out of the yard in Anderson to begin its trip down south to Westport.

Seeing the way you had a line of track follow a river to get into a location reminds me of how the CNJ got through and into Allentown, PA.

Here you see the CNJ trackage following the Jordan Creek. In the distance the track had already passed under the Hamilton Street Bridge on the way to pass directly under the bridge I am standing on, the Linden Street bridge, taking the photo.

That is similar to the way the PRR ran through downtown Anderson. That's the look that I copied in general.
