My 12-year old grandson loves steam engines. Any steam engine. Here he has NYC #5335, a Hudson at the head of a double-header with Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1235 at the head of his mixed freight.

More double heading or 'big steam' please.

Baldwin Centipede - Don't get much older or bigger than these puppies!

More early Alco's, Baldwins, or Fairbanks Morse units!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
