Weren't the GP60's delivered for D&RGW in 1990?

 

BTW, that's an awesome looking back drop.  You'll need to teach me how to do that!

Hmmmm

It's been a while since the call was made for a winter scene and I don't do winter but I can show another bridge I built some time ago, from scratch without a prototype.
We'll keep the ball rolling.

If you are having fun, It's all good.

My oldest working locomotive...  Both as in earliest and the oldest one I am still running on my layout.  Old #7 Shay was built by me over 25 years ago from a Roundhouse Kit.  Below her is one of my newest steam engines...

Show me your newest Steam loco.

Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

We'll get there sooner or later!

This old photo is of an old Bowser Pennsy T1. It was a severe basket case when I acquired it. I rebuilt it just for fun. I recall ordering parts from Bowser for it. In the background is an old Hobbytown Pennsy E7A and E7B which I also repaired. I no longer own those locomotives. 

Please show another old  steam locomotive.

Wow, never mind "fast", this would have been a good one for scary!  With no temparary guard rails or screen, it is "Scary" at those speeds.  BTW, Nice solid open grid benchwork.

Maybe scary in the picture, but not really as the trackwork is flawless.  This is my friend's Laramie to Rollins UP layout.  7 smiles of mainline.  In all the times I've operated there I don't think I've had nor seen anyone else have a single derailment on it, except coming out of staging when the trains weren't really on the track to begin with.

Now where is that Show me a CSX locomotive.  I'll even drop the blue....

How about an RS-1.  Santa Fe Zebra style....waiting for the arrival of train #312 and a head end car swap out.

The Dragon Cement Plant on the Boothbay Railway Village layout has a number of Walthers products. The basic cement plant is Valley Cement, the bagging plant is Golden Valley Canning, the fuel tank is a Walthers kit, the white pickup truck near the fuel tank is a repainted Scenemaster truck, the quarry rock crusher is Glacier Gravel, the quarry conveyors are a combination of conveyors from Glacier Gravel and the Modern Conveyor kit. The 2 brick buildings to the rear are DPM modulars.
