A "family portrait" of sorts, by way of a 3-way meet at Paw Paw. Clockwise, Millie is crossing over the Western Maryland No.6 bridge, Ginger has just rounded the bend from Greenspring, and Mary Ann is crossing the Potomac bridge and is about to head into Carothers Tunnel. In the background, you can just see the C&O Canal tunnel.
Amtrak unpacked and running. Still need to find a few more cars.

Beautiful! I just love the look of those 19th Century steam locomotives, they're more like pieces of jewelry than locomotives.
Flint - You're just a hop,skip and a jump, from seeing 2 4-4-0 locomotives. Both built by Kloke. Both new. #17 YORK is in New Freedom, PA, as part of the Steam into History train tours. A little further up the road, you can see #63 LEVIATHAN, at the Star Barn, in Elizabethtown, PA. The #63 is the prettiest locomotive that I've ever seen in person. I was able to see both locomotives together a few years ago, staging the great locomotive chase. I think it was then, I was bitten...or smitten.
Also need to give a shout out the folks at the B&O RR museum, who've restored their #25 back into its "as delivered" paint scheme.
Oh, I know it Fife, getting up there's strictly a question of "when and if."
One of these days I'll see 'em, count on it!
Fife,
Here is Millie's cousin. It has always been one of my favorite S gauge engines.
I may have to break down and buy an O gauge American one of these days. I do have a Marx version.
Thomas trains made a nice version that I will have to be on the lookout for.
Enjoying the World's Greatest Hobby.

Flyer and KRM, I've got that Marx set too, I've hd it since around 1960 or so. Still runs, although the e-unit's frozen in the "forward" position. Could be worse!
The headlight and smoke unit still work too!
How about I jump in with some 4-6-0's.

Careful! Those Lionel Generals can lead you to do crazy things!
Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
I've got six, five MTH's and the aforementioned Marx.
What can I say? The MTH's were on sale!
Although you can't see it very well but how about the Halloween General in the lead.
