Here's Amtrak's Pennsylvanian meeting a westbound Conrail manifest just west of Altoona, circa 1996. Just ignore the forth track that was removed in 1981 and the amtrak heritage unit. Show me another anachronism on your layout.

A Wheeling and Lake Erie SD40-2 leads a train through Monongahela.  The Wheeling's loco 6347 has the light up between the numberboards, and the Wheeling doesn't run through Monongahela in reality.

 Let me see another anachronism

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway.  As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).

Do the Little Red Schoolhouse and "Service" (vs gas) station qualfy as anachronisms.  Of course the KFC does not.  These on my grandson's layout.

Show me a non-modern passenger train.

Think the old Overland coaches on the local "Milk Run Train" would be just the thing for this...

The NYO&W was still running coaches like these in 1931, so I guesss they can be run on the SLO&W in 1925....

Show me another "non-modern" train.

Show us another passenger train, any era.

A friend of mine brought his early 1900's era MOW car over and pulled it around the layout one day.

I thought it was a pretty rare car.

Show me something else rare or unusual on your layout.

I'll show you three

 My yet to be finished roundhouse from my yet to be started Western Pennsylvania railroad museum.  In my universe, there were 10 K4s's saved, and three are operational-the 1361, and the 5442.  The museum is fictionally set in the city of Washington PA, and the museum uses the nearby Wheeling & Lake Erie/Austinville & Dynamite City Railway, tracks for weekend excursions. 

Show me an example of a modern day steam excursion.  Or of a locomotive on display.

It's been about 20 hours, so I will stay with the B&W theme with an old photo of a 1930s mixed train pulling into the depot on the Boothbay Railway Village layout

SHow me more B&W or a night scene

I'm surprised it's taking this long on a New England train so let's go less specific..

Show me something wider than it is tall.
