How about a Pennsy K-4 with a short train of Arch-Roof passenger cars?

Show us another passenger train, any era.

Think the old Overland coaches on the local "Milk Run Train" would be just the thing for this...

The NYO&W was still running coaches like these in 1931, so I guesss they can be run on the SLO&W in 1925....

Show me another "non-modern" train.

Do the Little Red Schoolhouse and "Service" (vs gas) station qualfy as anachronisms.  Of course the KFC does not.  These on my grandson's layout.

Show me a non-modern passenger train.

A Wheeling and Lake Erie SD40-2 leads a train through Monongahela.  The Wheeling's loco 6347 has the light up between the numberboards, and the Wheeling doesn't run through Monongahela in reality.

 Let me see another anachronism

(My Model Railroad, My Rules) 

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway.  As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).

Here's Amtrak's Pennsylvanian meeting a westbound Conrail manifest just west of Altoona, circa 1996. Just ignore the forth track that was removed in 1981 and the amtrak heritage unit. Show me another anachronism on your layout.

I can't believe it's September already! Anyway, SooLine720 requested a Midwestern Road.
