SLOW  Mallet #326 (a 2-6-6-2) pulls a long string of boxcars up the 2% grade on the way to the top of Bare Mountain on the Seneca Lake, Ontario, & Western RR.

Another articulated locomotive please.

Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

We'll get there sooner or later!

Here is a 4-8-4 steamer at the head of a passenger train.

New York Central Niagara #6015 at the head of a heavyweight passenger train approaches Black River Station on the west bound mainline of the BRVRR layout.

Show me an 'articulated steamer' at the head of any type of train.

It had been almost a day, so this is the closest I can come. A comparison of lighting for HW (incandescent/yeloglo LED) and LW (fluorescent/bluewhite LED) passenger cars

Show me any passenger train

I'll keep the old meets new theme going. A K4s passes a local off to an E8A.

Old meets new: Here is one from the BRVRR archives.

A NYC passenger train lead by an ABA set of ALCO's passes a Husdon powered local at the east end of the BRVRR layout in 2011.

November Already! Time to set your clocks back Saturday night. More nighttime hours to be working on your layout or modeling projects...

Last October request was for something SCARY! How scared is the crew in that Pennsy E-7 when they see the future... and the future is AMTRAKCrying!

Old Meets New!

Amtrak's GE P-42 40th Anniversary engines overtake a venerable old P-Company EP-20 struggling up the 1% grade into the big city.

A quick reminder, post photos of whatever the previous request was.

In an effort to keep the thread moving, if it has been 24 hours anyone can post a new photo or request.

Show me another "Old meets New" scene...
