How about some double-headed electrics?

How about three MU'd, or "double headed" juice-jacks?

 

The 911 and 901 heads a "Clocker" past a pair of former Virginian E-33 motors while a pair of GG1s head into the yard in the distance.

Show me another "pair" of anything!

Ted,

I'm glad you said "other streamlined steam" since I don't have any Milwaukee Road power on hand...

Here's a little Streamlined Steam!

Show me some double-headed steam...

My h10 44 was giving me extreme frustration with it not running smoothly. With forum member tips and tricks, I mustered up and popped open the trucks and cleaned some serious goop from the gears inside.  I'm really glad I did because it turned me on to a part of the hobby I wasn't interested in prior.  I was challenged as I had never taken anything apart on a loco and didn't want to be out a few hundred bucks. Fun to run now. Fun to fix it. 

Please show me a Milwaukee Road class A steam locomotive or other streamlined steam.

Right now, this is my favorite locomotive. Why? Because is is an interesting project that involves some new things, a 3D printed body shell, how to mount a drive, couplers, and get the thing completed to run reliably.

Show me a project that challenged you and came out well

I don't really have a single favorite locomotive, but here's a loco from one of my favorite preserved railroads, the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, NV. This is 2-8-0 #93 heading west as it emerges from the line's only tunnel:

Show me another favorite!

Among the steam variety it was a close race between my BLI Hudson and this BLI P2 Niagara.

Lets stay with YOUR favorite locomotive.

I thought about this one for a while and decided it was this Kato HO scale dcc non sound SD 40-2.  Maybe I'm partial to brightly colored objects...  :)

Again, show me YOUR favorite locomotive.

27 hours and no USRA switchers and we have fallen onto page 2 again - maybe everyone is at W Springfield for the big  show.

SHow me any kind of steam switcher (that is not blue with eyes)

Well, it's been almost 22 hours without an 0-6-0t. Here's the best I can come up with.

Show me an USRA 0-6-0 or 0-8-0.

Probably not the  type of 'trackside signal' you had in mind but it is one..  :)

 

Hi Jacon,

I've admired your trees, and your modelling aswell, for a long time.  Can you give us a bit of a history or tutorial on those leafy trees, they are wonderful.
