As previous counts for the 1:55 drawings were not all exact, a few yearly counts may not add up exactly to the final total.

Milestones

I've sometimes selected special locomotives or trainsets for a major milestone in a series, although in a couple few cases I surpassed the milestone without realizing it. In the past I also tracked the smaller milestones in the 1:55 series (usually every 100 drawings), although I stopped doing that with the 1:36 series in 2008.

1:55 series:

Major milestones:

• 1,000th drawing (2004-03-31): MLW 4-6-4 (CP class H-1e) (selected as the first steam locomotive I've ever drawn)
  
  
• 2,000th drawing (2005-12-17): GE GG-1 (selected as a unique and significant locomotive model)
  
  
• 3,000th drawing (2007-06-28): SNCF TGV V150 trainset (initially intended to be painted version)

Minor milestones:

• 1,500th drawing (2005-01-02): Trentonworks 73' high-capacity Centerbeam flatcar, depressed center
  
  
• 1,000th EMD locomotive (2006-02-24): SD45X

  • 500th (2004-09-11): F69PH-AC (right side)
  • 600th (2005-03-14): SD50, CR version right-side view (later redrawn)
  • 700th (2005-07-11): SD9 (GN 573-578)

Minor milestones

• 1,000th EMD Locomotive: an unknown SD60M, SD60I or SD70ACe
