True, ALCo Century design built by Montreal, such as many surviving ALCo FAs were actually built by the MLC.

Far warmer and less snowy than now!
Under the shadow of the Manhattan skyline, the YPD-131 crew gingerly goes about their work drilling Long Island City yard in preparation for the remainder of the evening rush. Today, the usual SW1001 was down for the count, so a CE crew came in to bring this temporary E15 to do the work. As they shove back onto 3 track with two coaches for Train 664 to Port Jefferson, a superlocal with Budd M3s prepares to head east to Hunterspoint Ave. and onto Jamaica, where they will rocket along the Montauk Branch to Babylon. The date is May 27, 1992.
Huge thank you to ModelerMJ/RubyTMIX, petrama25, the JR gang, and all others for creating content to make this scene possible. Have been wanting to do this area for nearly a decade. :wave:

It looks tremendous. Is that MTA stuff something that is/will be publicly available?

Thanks again all. I'm glad the area gives off the gritty LIC feel.
I am still quite a long ways off from a release-able version, but I would certainly like to release the full project and content in a pack down the road. No idea on a timeline, but I would like to see this all released eventually.
There are some plans in the works for FA-1/2 power packs, but the unit you see (on the wrong end of the train for the picture's sake) is one of the F7 conversions that was done after the purchase of the FAs. Ryan did this for me a few years ago when the F7 was first updated. Hopefully a new version will see the light of day at some point as well.

IRM has a Long Island Power unit FA-2 in there collection. Is this the exact type of unit you plan on doing?

Great work on your Long Island project Knifeswitch, keep up the good work.
LI #604 in better days (hopefully IRM will give her a cosmetic restoration one day)
