Lead one is a BLI AC5, and it's followed by an Intermountain AC12. As is well-known, the IM model has a very low top speed, but I've speed-matched the AC5 (it has the upgraded QSI chip installed) so that they can run together. I sometimes cheat and have them pulling freights like this, but they only ran in tandem on passenger trains. They can be VERY loud.
Gotta dance...

Good work, Jordan. I love the lighting.
Just got my order from Factory Direct Trains.

Double-headed Cab-Forward passenger train action.
Who should ask for anything more?
I should, as in, which make and model are those Cabbies?

I got two Proto 2000 L&N E6-A's in the mail today from a friend in Texas. They were both converted into dummy locos but the shells won't sit on the frames properly as there are no tabs on the inside of the shells. It'll be a simple matter to make some tabs from scrap. The locos are identical, right down to their numbers, 776.

Not much work I've done that's remarkable enough to post here, but I was playing around with the camera this morning and came up with this.
Lots of views, but no additions yet. So, I'll add my own contribution for the week. It is a similar shot to last week's, but taken during the day. Daylight is clearly reflected off the boiler and tender in this image.
I would gratefully like to acknowledge the welcome improvement added by RRCanuck, who has graciously offered to add some effects using Photoshop. He has done this for me a number of times, and I appreciate his support very much. I had understood, sort of, how difficult it is to add these elements to a photo so that they look natural. After some discussion, I now understand just how involved, and time consuming, it really is.

Very nice diesel you have there. And, may I gush and fawn over your ballasting job? Really nicely done!
Thanks for starting the thread.
For some of us it might still be spring break, but I thought I'd start one this weekend anyway.
