"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Oh, so difficult to choose just one thing...
I never tire of seeing these huge, Hulett ore unloaders, though. I can't wait to get the other two built so I can paint and weather them. I used to watch these working in Cleveland, Ohio. Especially fascinating at night with all the lights moving—like a ballet of dinosaurs!
Show me a train of coal or iron ore...
Real iron ore from, where else, Ironville, Pa.
Show me some coal, please.

RR_Mel My current project is a new observation car with a full interior. More projects you are working on. Mel Modeling the early to mid 1950s SP in HO scale since 1951 My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Thanks, Dave
I wonder if these are the seats?
RR_Mel might have another source, but these look pretty similar. I have some in blue and gray and they look pretty sharp and don't cost an arm and a foot...

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
F3 MEC 671 A-B was one of only two A-B sets owned by MEC
MEC 683 is an undecorated Stewart model that I painted to match a photo.

A B&O E9 laying over at the roundhouse...
Show me more passenger diesels from any builder.
gmpullman,
Love the roundhouse scene! I will try to correctly identify the models
The E8 is a Proto 2000, the F7A and F7B are Athearn Genesis, and the Torpedo GP7 is either a Proto 2000 or a Bachmann.
Give the man a cigar! (Well, the E8 is an E9, very slight spotting difference, B&O only had four of them) and the geep is indeed a vintage Proto. Oops, I forgot, the F7B is Intermountain but hard to tell without a close examination...
Thanks! Ed
An E8 passing through the yard.
Show me a passenger steamer, please.
Passenger steam....
Please show more steam power.
Garry, you want steam!!!
Pennsy N1sa with a coal drag!
Rick, what is your request?
No request, I'll go back to the steam passenger train.
I started this as a Canadian National with four passenger cars but never did get the engine decal.
The engine cab was damaged and I also converted the hopper from oil to coal to more or less match a loco pictured on a turn table I saw somewhere.
Would like to see another CN passenger train.
cheers.

Here are a GMD FP9 and a F9B leading a CN passenger train.
Show me another passenger train please.
Guy Papillon,
Those FP9A and F9B are models by Rapido.
ATSFGuy,
No. They were made by Intermountain Railway Co.
Passenger train pulled by my favorite loco. Hey, they had one in the Polar Express so that's good enough for me.
Please show me your favorite loco.
