Ooh love that RS18. the bossman knows how to flick my switch Big Smile [:D]Thumbs Up [tup] More glossy than I had ever seen one in real life ,mind you any I saw were in Barricade stripes and at the end of their operational lives.But still those 251's would howel and dig  in with the plate steel trains going out to the Port Weller drydocks Thumbs Up [tup] I'm not sure but that one diesel hydrolic at the South Simcoe may be the only one left of those little critters.

I see we are Norther Alco approved around here which is always a good thing Thumbs Up [tup] Great follow on shot by the bossman as well,nice car. Looks to have been wonderfully restored and maintained. Lets see what do I have in the bag of tricks for this evening.

Something of the unusual.One of teh EX CP deisel hydrolics built by CLC for branchline use in teh 1950's. This one still runs and offsets the little CNR mogels that usually pull the South Simcoe's tourist trains in Ontario. They kept the CPR colours and number on this little switcher.

Good Morning All;

It looks as though there was some kind of E unit behind the MP PA.  Also nice selection from Tom of drumheads, heralds, and advertising material.

Rob was in with a picture of the Empress

Greetings to Lars who stopped by with NYC material.
