A mainline passenger train? How about one from the past?

NYC Niagara #6015 at the head of a heavyweight consist passes Berea Tower westbound on the Black River Valley RR layout.

How about another steam powered passenger train?

Is this modern enough?

Hmm I think so, Jon, really like your scene, especially the trackwork and ballasting.Bow

Cheers, the Bear.

Show me another modern loco.

Not what Michael was exactly asking for, but to get us back to page one, these were modern in 1950


There has to be someone out there with a modern diesel, please???

Cheers, the Bear.

I LOVE those cabooses.  Actually I have one.  Are they difficult to build?  I have built a lot of Ambroid, Quality Craft, and Funaro kits and as far as soldering, I have scratchbuilt a 2-8-0 frame, boiler and cab from brass.  Let me know about any gotchas or anything else to look out for.

I'll stretch the word "scrapped" a bit. .... This 2-6-0 was a "basket case". I intended to fully restore it but I only made it a static model which I pose for photos like this one. It is missing valve gear on the other side and it is missing a motor. There are other problems. The CB&Q had a few 2-6-0's which looked similar to this engine, but the brass model is really a CN prototype. 

Please show the front end of a main line freight train.

This is the same scrap BigBoy but showing the front detail. This was a Monogram/Revell plastic kit that was missing the smokebox front and the tender, so I made lemonade out of it.

Anyone else have a 'scrapped' steam engine?

Well, my steamers NEVER go on the scrap line, lol, but here's another articulated, a big Rio Grande L-131

Anybody else have a steamer heading for the scrap line?  I sure don't.
