Mr. Corman has four more of these stripped out units displayed with a caboose on display at his farm. Located on the by-pass in Nicholasville, Kentucky. They are mostly GP-16s, and are displayed with the caboose in the center with two locomotives on either side. Also in the same location, but on the south side of the Norfolk Southern tracks are his Airport and Dispatching Center, his Depot/Office and his stored under cover Budd Dome car which is connected to his "Bachmann" F-7. The "quasi F-7" is actually a former Clinchfield Railroad F unit that was bought as an F- 3 or 5, and rebuilt to an F-7. I have given this unit the "Bachmann" label as it also is converted, what Mr. Corman bought from the Paducah, Ky. dead line, was the trucks, fuel tank, and carbody. The F unit body was trucked to Lexington, Ky. and put in the shop of a local painter still on the Lowboy trailer. The paint shop was going to simply paint the entire thing red, but several local railfans informed the shop that the Farr Grills on the unit were Stainless Steel and should simply be stripped and reinstalled. The Paint Scheme came from the GM Scrapbook so is a GM design but in Corman's Colors. The cab is intact, But the engine room is a Board Room. All mentioned above items are lighted at night.
