The first and third units are Atlas units, the middle one, number 890 is an AMH unit, completely devoid of motor and one truck, but it will make a nice backshop model, call it a parts skeleton. 3016 is a Bachman Spectrum product, one of the first with that appelation.

The Brown and orange colors are a leftover from my last layout, I have EMD Fs and Alco PA1 and PA2s in that scheme. Those will find a home in my static display of Penn Station, oblivious to the fact that diesels do not operate in Penn Station. The passenger trains in there will be all lit up at the platforms. You will have to bend over and look under the subway line at Prospect Park in order to see them. They will be difficult to see, but then so is Penn Station.

Hey Lion,

Nice collection of units.

The top "RS" unit, my first HO Locomotive was one like it, in the SP "Bloody nose" paint scheme. (AHM/IHC. Yours also?)

And your third pic, the Alco C424/425, I currently have 3 of, 1 needing paint and decals. 

The C430, I have 2 of, but the Bowser version. (Yours looks like the Tyco one?)

Is the paint scheme by chance the same as the current Broadway Lion paint scheme? Or another, former line? (Or, in this case, Lion?)

And, do these pics mean you are back on your feet? (All four I mean. Smile)
