MheetuThe B&O EM-1, well like by the crews and not too bad looking.

That is a true statement! I like the look of this locomotive so much that it is the only "non-generic" steamer on the STRATTON & GILLETTE railroad roster.
Beautiful picture.

Living the dream.
I looked on the 'net but couldn't find it. In 1958 my father took me via rail to NYC and Penn Station . I remember streamliners and colored passenger cars of all sorts of railroads.

And iconic photo? And of the Reading Rail Rambles pulled by one of the T-1 steamers.
Steam was gone, except for the 0-6-0T that hostled locos in the shops, but there it was again, all over the system and sometimes even double-headed.

Modeling the Reading Railroad in the 1950's

For me, it is probably the illustrations that appeared on Athearn boxes and late 50s Tyco sets. When I see these images, it brings back the excitement I felt as a kid.
Shock ControlFor me, it is probably the illustrations that appeared on Athearn boxes
You know, that illustration on Athearn Blue Boxes that I bought PLENTY of in the 1979-1981 time frame will always spark memories and a warm feeling.
That was right before we moved to South Florida, I switch to N scale, and then created the STRATTON & GILLETTE railroad for myself. Ah. the memories of anytime I had more than $3.00 in my pocket and buying another freight car. I could not get my bike the the hobby shop on 13th street fast enough.
Kevin ... Your thread is a good idea.
Ray Dunakin ... You suggested a caboose. Here is a shot of one on my layout.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
I have been thinking about cabooses. They are certainly an iconic part of railroading, and I would never consider modeling anything in the no-caboose era, but... I do not find them very photogenic.
I can't put my finger on why, but as far as this topic is considered, they just are not the image that does it for me.
Coming put of Chicago.
Ok Guys, it's a painting not real, but isn't it great!
