5556 keeps the slack bunched on unit coal train T474-11
between Marrowbone and Elkhorn City, KY, readying for
the assault up through the Breaks of the Big Sandy.
"The scene was photographed on a small diorama built by Brian
Bennett to generically represent scenes frommy planned basement-
size layout depicting CSX's ex-Clinchfield operations on the Kingsport

is a heavily-modified and custom-painted Atlas model and the B30-7 is
also a highly-detailed and improved Atlas engine.
