WOW.  Great donations!  Being a prewar buff, I love the AF best, but they are all terrific.  Just a few oldies to share.

Tom, Those are some very nice acquisitions. Thumbs Up [tup]

From last friday I had the the big power running on the layout.

But the real hit of the day was none other than:

Sponge Bob, Who'd have thought ?

With the addition of a new [used but LN] NS SD80, now have a long line of engines to do some major pulling.  They run good in Legacy using the speedlimit settings.  Also pictured are the two NS and CN SD40-2 Legacy engines.

Gracious, they sure run good on the Soundstop Desert Prairie layout.

Hi John,

 Two of them are made by ETS (the red one and the Deisel) and one is by Bassett-Lowke. All three are 3 rail DC.

Great photos guys!  Tom, those are fantastic locomotives.  I got burned when trying to purchase a Wabash Hudson, but I will get one someday.  The ETS ones and the B/S one look wonderful.  I would suggest as John noted on the other site to use bridge rectifiers in those as with many hands of different capabilities at the museaum, eventually someone will try it on AC.

We went up to Pine Mountain today for FIL's B-Day, saw a Heart Of Georgia SD40 and a GSW SD40-2 as well as some other GSW units, I will have to get the photo posting thing down and show those.
