Hey  Big Smile

The best I can do is an old picture of my 2-6-6-2. I do think my newer photos will get better.

Anyone have the older late 1800s locos that you could show?  

I love all the good photos.

Just for fun I took this photo of the 'oldest' and the 'newest' HO scale locomotives I own.

Show me your 'oldest' diesel.

Sorry neither of the previous posts are ALCOs.    Unfortunately I don't have any good pictures of any but here is set of 6-axle ALCO PA/PB pulling train 312 into Gene Autry Oklahoma.

But I will take the themes from the prior two posts.  Show me a MU'ed lashed up Switcher.

Boy... talk about topic drift this morning. He was for an Alco (a fish) and you guys gave him an EMD (as stone).

He ask for a switcher and gets a road switcher.

Well enter LION. An mu switcher. Well NYCT does use old passenger cars as work motors and they are MU'd and attached to my switcher is the MONEY CAR and that is *supposed* to be MU'd to another work car.

Oh well, show me your revenue collection train Smile, Wink & Grin

or else your main corporate headquarters.

Not a company headquarters, but the BT&S started to operate the railroad out of the roundhouse when the LVRR took over. The original headquarters were demolished after the buy-out.

Show me a Mikado.

HEY... How  do you keep the coal in the hopper. In my experience is all falls out.

We bought some of that coal at salvage, and even though the salvage company used magnets to pull (most) of the metal out, the ballast was sure hard on our shear pins!

Now,

Back to your regularly scheduled Interurban.

Roadway overpass

This is one of the rare times I have seen that an overpass that ends against a background makes visual sense.  Congratulations!  Well done!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled "Show Me."
