Just arrived today: A Pennsy Alco Century C-630. I just couldn't pass it up! On sale for $130—and MB Klein offered an additional 10% off ! This one has Tsunami sound and I have two others with Loksound. Can't wait to get all three on the head end of a 120 car coal drag...
Let's stay with your latest purchase... Ed
Latest purchase is my Athearn Genesis Challenger 3707. Great loco to replace my Rivarossi that I had for several years. Second photo has them side by side before I sold the Rivarossi.

Let's continue the 'latest purchase' theme.
Life is what happens while you are making other plans!
Almost 24 hours, no hits, and almost off the page so does anyone mind if I post?
Let's see your most recent purchase.
This is a special custom decaled (yours truly), kato SD40-2 on my club's layout. Got it back in January, but just programmed it/put sound in it earlier this month.
(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 a boxcar that could have been used to haul grain.
Show me a tank car or two or three, please.
Here are two CN covered hoppers being switched at the flour plant.
Show me a grain boxcar as they were used before the advent of covered hoppers.

This was a gift to me from my wife for Christmas.
After 18 hours I think it's safe to say the gift theme has petered out. Show me a covered hopper car.

Another Gift
I've always wanted a slope back. Never got one in my Lionel days so now I can obsess about some thing else
Let's stick with the gifts regardless who they are from

Don't Ever Give Up
This InterMountain F-7 was my Christmas gift from my wife.
Continue with the gift theme.
This Alco S3 is a Christmas gift from my wife.
Let us continue on the gift theme.
Seems rather fitting on Valentines Day. Here is my EM1 given to me for Christmas by my sweetheart
She was wondering why I got it all "dirty" and didn't want to keep it all shiney and new! A nice theme, let's keep it going

Modeling B&O- Chessie Bob K. www.ssmrc.org
My wife has always been very generous when it comes to my passion, even though she has no interest at all in the hobby. The Southern Pacific B-50-15 boxcar in the classic "Overnight Service" scheme is a Challenger Imports that she gave me among others over the years.
I thought SP was especially appropriate because C.P. Huntington was responsible for the development of both the C&O and SP. A great tie in!
Took this shot while operating the New River Local near Dimmock, W. VA. Track 1 (Westward main) is showing "red over red" (danger). This is the default aspect for running eastward on Track 1. Track 2 (Eastward) is clear through the next block, showing "green over red".
In the spirit of Valentines Day, please show us more of what your "special one" has given you for your railroad.

Modeling the C&O New River Subdivision circa 1949 for the fun of it!
This brass model of a 2-4-4-2 was a birthday present from my wife many years ago. At the time, I was modeling the 1900 era and it fit in. Now I model about 1960, but the engine means a lot to me, and I will keep it. I might think of a creative way to include it on the current layout.
Please show another model which has some sentimental value

superbebut there is one detail in your scene that has bothered me every time I see it. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. It is my understanding that in the eary days the house pictured would have been called either a Tourist Home or a Guest House.
Hi Bob! Interesting... I never knew that, or if I did didn't make any connection for this scene. In this area, actually all over the layout there are little references to actual people in my family on the layout. For instance Howard's Dairy was actually the business my Great Uncle Eli Howard made his fortune with. (He was one of the rich Howards.) The dairy on the layout only vaguely resembles the one he owned and operated way back then, and it was not served by the railroad. My Mother was a Beautician and so in Hopewell there is a shop called Nina's Beauty Salon. That was her shop. The sign on the shop is a HO scale replica of the sign that hung over her business. Some others are Lyon Imports (My world traveling sister), Dorothy's Bakery (MIL), Fox Plumbing (FIL), and Rose's Diner (A cousin's wife...). The Bed and Breakfast is a tribute to my oldest sister Janice who is a Deacon in the Episcopal Church and for many years ran a boarding house for Foreign Students in South Bend Indianna. I should probably change the sign to read "Miller's Boarding House" or something like that.
Oh and thanks for the kind words about my modeling! I am having fun....
And now back to our regular program! Show me another favorite item given to you by someone special in your life.

Howmus,
I have followed your posts for a long time admiring everyone. Your scratch building is beyond comparison. You are truly a top modler.
With this said I hesitate to mention this, but there is one detail in your scene that has bothered me every time I see it. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. It is my understanding that in the eary days the house pictured would have been called either a Tourist Home or a Guest House.
It wan't until after WW II that the term Bed & Breakfast became popular in the States. It was originally European terminology.
Just my Worth
Let's srick with Howmus's request.
Favorite car.... I would have to say any of 3 remaining 60 year old HO Pocher Overland cars my Father in Law gave me to get me restarted in the hobby about 40 years ago. The ones still running have been fitted with Kadee couplers and pockets and new period trucks with metal wheels, a new paint job and decalling for the SLOW.

Here you go. A real lump of coal in front of a G-9 and K-1 in my glass display case at the entrance to my C&O. No, I did not get the coal for X-mas! Got it from Northern California, so guessing it's the hard variety (anthracite).
Since I love "black diamonds", let's see some more coal, please...
And some more
Let's keep with coal...please show some more
