Texas Zepher

You did not say i t had to be a loco, train, or rolling stock, and unfortunately I don't have any photos of my turnouts so this will have to do...

No ties were lost in the connecting of these two pieces of flex track.  It would be more a joy if one could not see that solder on the outside of the one rail.

touche, I didn't. more good work.

I miss when the function of adding a picture was as simple as posting it directly to here.  I do not have an interest to set up a picture site.  I just would upload it here to show one time.

I sent you a PM about that. You may find it of interest.

I'd say that my pride and joy(s) have to be my big, older brass steamers.

Like my 2-8-8-2's:

 

My VERY old 2-8-8-4's:

My 4-6-6-4's:

My Cab-Forward 4-8-8-2's:

And a curve-straightening 4-10-2:

Some of these babies are pushing 50 years old, but with 'tinkering' and a lot of TLC, they've proven not only reliable, but almost indestructable.

Two categories; first this locomotive I rescued from someone else's junk bin.  Completely rebuilt and refurbished.

Structure; in O-scale.  Completely scratchbuilt, based on a Colorado prototype.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

BLI Paragon J1, a Texas type used by the Pennsylvania Railroad.  Even though I have a small collection of articulated locomotives which I love, this one twin-cylinder beast had just short of the pulling power of a Union Pacific Challenger 4-6-6-4.  It also happens to be a very nice looking, highly detailed, and smooth model.

Brass HO scale Pacemaker caboose. Hope to put it on ebay in the near future. Cannot do MRRing anymore. Never has a chance to blacken the sides of the wheels or do any weathering. Looked great behind a 30 car Pacemaker freight.
