Here's Nickel Plate 5 & 6 — one just arriving the other on the way out of town!
Show me a passenger train that ran to or from Chicago...
A Bachmann undec NKP style Berkshire, lettered with the Micro Scale NKP diesel set, ESU sound installed as well:
Please show something NKP, or a railroad that connected with it.
It has been a couple of days and no 0-6-0s and it is about ready to fall off page 1. So to move things along here is an old photo of my Lima 0-4-0T
Show me a locomotive from Lima, either the 1:1 scale manufacturer or the scale model one from Italy

A B&M SW-1 swtiching the engine house in Greenvale Junction. The paint scheme is correct for the late 70s; B&M ran some of these old switchers into the Guilford era
Show me an 0-8-0 switcher
A privately owned GE 44 Tonner doing some switching at the grain elevator.
More switching please.

An eastbound Wabash local making a special stop to switch the grain elevator at Rockfield, Indiana a few years ago. This shot was so similar to Allan's that it was almost irresistible...
Let's see some more industrial switching.

An industry being switched:
NYC S3 #874 spots a grain box car as heavy freight and passenger traffic passes on the mainline.
Show me more switching action.
Remember its your railroad

My passenger terminal, freight yard to the left.
Please show an industry being switched.
Don's request was for a busy freight yard or terminal...
I bet somebody has that. Please post if you can.
Otherwise, please show a busy industry being served by a switcher.

DON ... Glad to see your post. I like your ConRail loco
"Please show freight train action"
Here is an N Scale Conrail hauling boxcars Southbound on an early fall day across an as yet unfinished section of my layout.
Please show us a congested/busy freight/intermodal yard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."
Passenger trains ...
Please show freight train action.
GP-9_Man11786Show me a passenger station.
Here's a moody "Train Noir" shot with a New York Central flavor...
Show me more passenger action...
Here's N&W 611 leading an excursion towards Horseshoe Curve. Hopefully this scene will be prototypical soon.

Guy PapillonDavid, What is your request?
What is your request?
About 2 days and no new request, so to move on...
Show me some Union Pacific steam
David,
My father used to commute out from Boston to Wayland MA on a train very much like this. We used to drive to the station and wait for his train to come in. For this one, the locomotive is an IHC Mogul, close to the B&M B15 that pulled the commuter train. The coaches are Pocher and Roundhouse 40 footers. The open platforms and truss rods are prototypical. The B&M wood coaches were 60 footers rather than 40 footers. This is an older photo, I have ballasted the layout since I took this photo.

It's been almost a day, so I will jump back in to get things moving
This is my favorite small locomotive, An HOn30 3D printed boxcab I built for Boothbay Railway Village
Show me a train from a railroad in New England (USA) or Olde England (UK)
I have nothing against Heavy Electrics.
Very nice modeling. If it was not for the coupler, it would be hard to tell this is a model.
Back to gmpullman's request: "more favorite locomotives, please!"
"Show me a favorite diesel or steam locomotive."
So what do you have against "Heavy Electrics", Guy?
Here's one of my favorites, among many, but these beasts are unique, too!
More favorite locomotives, please!
Almost 48 hours and no "non-US/non-Canadian steam". So back to a favorite. Here is a CNR 2-8-0 Consolidation.
Show me a favorite diesel or steam locomotive.
A true favorite of mine because it´s an unique model: a Yugoslavian class 51 2-6-2T steamer in the 50s/60s livery! Model has DCC, sound, lights, smoke & runs extremely well!
Show me non-US/non-Canadian steam!
This is my favorite loco that I have not put a decoder into yet. A Stewart F3 MEC 683 that I painted and decalled. One reason is my wife's dad was an MRC engineer and he ran locomotives like this
My favorite with a decoder is a factory paint Stewart F3 MEC 671 A-B. It was the first one I installed a sound decoder
Show me another favorite
Heartland Division CB&QPS ... gmpullman ... I really like your shop scene. I wonder why NYC sold its new Alcos.
Hi, and Thanks, Garry!
I like that shot, too. The interior looks massive since I managed to get a low-angle shot. I have redone the lighting after this shot was taken so the bare bulbs aren't hanging out in the open.
There is some discussion about the NYC/D&H RS-11s here.
http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=45485
I bought a pair knowing that they didn't run on NYC but I did find a photo of them in lightning-stripe so at least they DID exist as such.
Thanks again, Ed
Best Freight locomotive,..... that's a hard one but I find myself coming back to run this Kato SD40-2 time after tiime because it is sooooo smooth. Besides, I like red! :)
Please show me another 'favorite locomotive, freight or not.
Jarrell
My best passenger engine is a pair of BLI E7's on the right in the photo. The other pair is Proto 2000, and they certianly are good locomotives, too.
Please show your best freight locomotive.
PS ... gmpullman ... I really like your shop scene. I wonder why NYC sold its new Alcos.
A pair of Alco RS-11s that would never run on the NYC! Sold to the D&H shortly after delivery await repainting in the Colonie Shops.
Show me your best passenger locomotive...
A FM H10-44 on switcher duty in yard.
Show me an Alco diesel, please.
