These are pictures and captions are from David Dewey  He shot them at the San Jose NASG events
First, the F unit test shots, showing running gear and cab interior. Note
the opening side doors will not be on the production model, but the rear
door will be openable. the odd colored square on the roof is a removable
section so you can add dynamic brake grids later. The cooling fans are
free-spinning, if you blow on them they go 'round! The pilot on the right is
a replacement for the coupler covered pilot, so two pilot options right now.
Also, the new switch controller. Looks familiar, yes??
 Cool, huh, and it's all S!! Bay Area scaler's layout, old one, has been around for decades, I'm told.

Same layout, shot looking towards the first picture.

This time I caught the engines going by.

The AM version of my favorite train, this time on the NEW Bay Area
layout.
"Lee worshipping at the Cab-Forward Altar"
Lee Johnson's cab forward. I was supposed to get it before it got to the signal, but the electronic shutter didn't co-operate!
