Here is one from my website:

Pennsylvania Railroad F7A #9822 passes Berea Station at the head of a short freight as passengers board NYC RDC #53 for a trip into Toledo. The RDC is a Proto 1000, the F7s are Athearn BB kits which I repainted. There is a Soundtraxx DSC101-LC sound decoder and 1" speaker in the B-unit. The A-unit and the RDC have TCS T1 decoders.

Lets have another sepia or B&W photo.

Remember its your railroad

Here is NYC Observation Car #51 on the BRVRR:

This car was adapted from an Athearn BB streamlined car in Santa Fe livery. There is a description of the conversion of this car and most of my NYC streamlined consist on my website. Just look on the How'd You Do That page and click on the thumbnail of the observation car.

Lets have a lighted caboose.

It's been almost a day looking for a lighted caboose; so here is a compromise. 2 MEC cabooses with marker lights with jewels, one of which is reflecting

Here is a Milwaukee F-unit, probably not what you had in mind thought:

This particular FP45 is now my Santa Fe #5941. Details on how this came about are on my website on the What's New Page.

If the above is acceptable, lets have another FP45.

I guess 12 hours is enough time for an FP45.

Show me something with the numeral 3.

Karl,

Your GP-38 and Geep 7/9's  look great!

Did you chop the noses on the Geep 7/9's and if so what did you use for number boards and windshields. I've got some Old Atlas GP-7's I want to convert to Paducah rebuilds, the hardest part is figuring out what to use for number boards and windshields.

There are a couple of 8's on the loco:

Since we are on a number kick, how about a double digit? How about a 20.
