I like it, Paul! Something like GP4.5 - still looking for a pantagraph. I think John uncovered a link for me.

[pbjwilson]

Doug,
How 'bout GP3 or GP1/3. Or shorty, stubby, 1/2 pint, toot, tweet.
Looks good, but I think it needs a pantograph. Keep up the good work Mr. 5 stars.

Great video Roy, and great photos as usual guys. Keep em coming. These are one of the best things to look forward to each week.

Im in the process of actually looking for one of those new haven electrics, how does yours run?

John[:)]

That is an original post war model, I pickedit up for Junior on ebay for less than $200.00 It has the usual amount of play wear associated with these at that price, however, as a runner it is silky silky smooth. No eunit buzz, very silent runner - gobbles up the track.

[dougdagrump]

Frank, That is looking great. [tup]

Frank53-

Looks like your layout is coming along well, looking forward to seeing more of your progress. Im in the process of actually looking for one of those new haven electrics, how does yours run? Keep up the good work[;)]

Great photos everyone. Maybe one day, I'll have a few to show.[:)]

[cnw1995]

Great videos, Roy. What a fine engine.

[pbjwilson]

Roy,
Really nice videos. The sound is fantastic. The second video you can play like a loop. Just hit the play button over and over and it appears as if the train is making loops around the track. Thanks for sharing.

Finally had a chance to capture some video of my new K-Line NYC 4-6-6 Suburban. Great sound and smoke.

My humble repair bench...



I have a couple of mini drawers now for parts.

[Frank53]

Mrs 53 got down the base coat on teh wall I just finished building. Let it dry for a few days and start doing the details and blending, and then some foliage growing out of the cracks. Lastly, I have to cut the aluminum tubing for teh guard rails that go through those holes in the uprights.

Hey Tom (aka Spankybird)

Sorry I didn't ket back to you earlier (re: Lumber bldgs.) but qqqman did answer the question. L O N G days and short nights for moi. The kits are Walthers and well worth the $$$ and very easy to work with, we did decorate the intereiors to make them look even better.

Jon

PS--I'm ready to re-retire

PSS-Hawkeye's Big Ten Champs----Buckeye-maybe with a little bit of luck, Steve A. will move along to the Hoosiers...........good riddance.

Jon-- ready for bed early.................

Nice photos everyone. I am so impressed with the creativity I see in these photos.

Pigseye Tim - love those door pulls

LAZ - Those are some serious old growth logs you are hauling. Is that a Shay pulling that load of lumber?

Spanky - great photos as usual. I love that yellow C & O engine.

pbjwilson - love those night shots.

Doug, I like that Chessie steamer too.

Now I have to start reading up about my engines. Have to get to the catalogs to update my mind on which engines will be posted. That is a good idea though, I like it.

[cnw1995]

Paul, I love that streamlined UP steamer -
Tom, that C&O engine - the yellow one - is always wonderful to see.

[cnw1995]

Here is my contribution for the week - only one before the batteries died - my daughter took 192 photos in 12 hours. ;)

Whoops, forgot to mention what it is - my kitbashed GP9 - what'll I call it? Beep is already taken - I'd like to add a pantagraph; in the background is the B unit - you can barely see it.

You are good. We should make this a regular feature of the Sunday photo fun. Post one loco for you to identify. I have one on order that may stump you. When I get it I will post it to test you.

I think that is an excellent idea !! [:D][:D]
Boy, the pictures are just great again this week ! [:)][:)]
Thanks,

Thanks, Tim.
I remember reading a review of an HO model painted in Oakway Leasing Co., and I happen to still have the image of the engine in my mind.

This is what I think PE Tim's mystery engine is: The engine is in the EMD lineup, most likely in the SD series, so to me it looks like an SD60. My first guess was an SD40-2, but I looked at it more closely, and then decided on an SD 60. If not that, probably an SD 50.

Right on the money Colin. It's a Lionel SD-60 BN w/cmd. It's an older model, I think 2001, but the sounds on this particular engine are fabulous. Compressor sound and horn are great. Will try and get you next week.....Tim

Lumber office building and warehouse is a kit by Walthers.
