Well BK & Lars here's a bit of older "lite" rail in the form of Montreal and Southern Counties cars, which operated in either train or single car service.

enjoy Rob
G"day Captain Tom!
Nice shots from BK and Rob - I wanted to add some yesterday, but still experiencing lotsa grief getting pix posted. Don't know whether it's a PhotoBucket or Kalmbach induced "thing" - but it's driving me crazier than usual!
Hope to see this thread maintain the forward momentum and I want to send a THANKS along to BK for resurrecting it. Good show, Mate! Now all we need is Tom and 20 Fingers Al to come along and things will be back in fine form. Of course, the idea is to get some adult customers over at the bar - but ya know, we've had a bit of fun over here too, huh
Later!
Lars
Good Afternoon Rob and Lars
I can't wait to get back to the forum maybe two weeks and i will be back. This just has to be the last time I move.
TTFN Al
G'Day Captain Tom!
Been experiencing the same-ol, same-ol with the posting of pix. Couldn't get my Sunday AM collage to "work" over at the bar. Just about had it with this stuff - driving me crazier than an ADD bed bug!
Ok - so, we've now been visited by Barndad Doug (from the bar!) - good show! Now for another try at a pix or two . . . wish me luck!

Until the next time!
Good Afternoon Captain Tom!
Just left the bar and managed to get a couple of photos posted! Hooray, thanks to your assistance, appears as if the resumption of "pix-posting" has begun.
I surely can understand the love of domes from my "bookend" Lars (LoveDomes). After traveling aboard Via Rail's Canadian on our recent round trip to Vancouver, we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance of the Park Car. Also traveled back when CP Rail (action red) operated the route and the experience was a winner in all respects. My "trip report" is over at the bar on some earlier pages for anyone interested.
Just wanted to add my to the happenings here and drop off these photos:

G'day Captain Tom!
Nice pix, BK - that light-rail stuff is really good looking equipment!
Haven't got a thing to provide today, other than my best wishes!
Good Morning Captain Tom!
Thought I would swing by on the way home from the bar to see what, if anything, is going on over here. Not much!
I have a couple more light-rail photos, then will depart until early next week:
A Flexity Swift light rail train between Cologne and Bonn. (from: www.wikipedia.com)
New Flexity Classic tram in service on Glenelg line in Adelaide, South Australia. (from: www.wikipedia.com)
You will be missed at this thread, BK, as it appears that only you are providing anything of substance these days. With 20 Fingers Al out of the mix, who knows how long it will take us to kick start this thead into normalcy Surely doesn't appear as if the "browsers" are interested in becoming contributors.
I just deposited a bunch of pix over at the bar for our "Theme for the Day!" - check 'em out ....
Looks like I'm the Lone Ranger at this thread - so wthout further adieu, here's a little something to keep it going . . . .
NYC book

Looks as if I've got MY OWN thread over here! Ain't a soul around but me and doesn't appear as if we're attracting any contributors.
So, what will it be today Ah, domes . . .

I am new to the classic trains forum. I mean I have not been to this side of the forum before. I was hoping I could join this little talk on classic trains, since, I am a classic train person. I model the Milwaukee road and the Hiawathas. I am just "guessing" that the milwaukee road is a classic railroad.
I would like to start talking about this kind of thing since it fits in with what I am doing.
Here's a quick pic.
I thought the erie builts with the Chicago to Seattle Hiawatha seemed perfect for a classical train.
James
James - Aboard! Of course the Milwaukee Road is a "classic" in every sense of the word. We've Posted all kinds of info on that fine railroad on these pages - just do a 'search' or begin checking out the past pages - it's all there for one and all!
Don't know if you're interested, but there's a much more interactive Thread (site) on this Forum that you may find interesting - "Our" Place, an adult cyber bar 'n grill where the talk is all about "classic trains" along with some good times thrown in.
Hope to see ya either here, there or both!
from: www.trainweb.org
I see this thread is still up and running! I will give it a "go" for our newcomer, James and Post something he may enjoy . . .
Milwaukee Road's Pioneer Ltd (1946) (from: www.wikipedia.com)
Well I'm glad to hear that!! The Milwaukee road is the railroad I have been interested in all my life. My father is a big Northern pacific guy and for some reason I never really went into that railroad even though I like that railroad also!!! The Milwaukee electrics have always interested me and of course the Hiawathas.
Morning Hiawatha , from Chicago to Minneapolis.
Just like old times, huh You - BK and moi here on "your other thread"!!
How many times have we seen it - guys stop in - guys ask a question - answers and info provided - then we never see 'em again! BUT "James" is the exception to the "rule"!! Good to see ya and to this modest site for the dedicated few! <grin>
Here's one to continue on with the "theme" . . .
