Well, this is a Mantua Pacific I just remotored last week but forgot to photograph the complete engine. Also a Canon EN22 motor.

Let's see more loco repowering.

I guess nobody likes water so it’s time for a bump.  How about a crazy locomotive restore/remoter for a starter.
 
 
 
 
This is a dual Canon EN22 Rivarossi Cab Forward.  The Rivarossi frame was cracked so I made a frame from K&S brass and installed two Canon can motors and a sound decoder in the tender.
 
Show me another locomotive re-motor.

Pipe load started coming loose and did start to derail the gondola, and that's when the wreck was staged.

Show me a car accident.

This dog gets around. He could not decide on whether to pee on the Corvette or the fire hydrant. He chose wisely.

Show me a dog.

When I was a youngster my father (Ed Perry) and uncle (Al Perry) owned a mountain cabin and they called it Perrydice.  This is my Perrydice on my mountain.  The grandkids are washing their car.
 
   
 

My layout is in the room above the garage

Old Grandpa Earl stopped by the Roundhouse at Hopewell to show off his new Model A Ford to some of his old friends still having to work.  But when he went to leave it seems the battery was dead...  So the crank was gotten out and the guys will get Earl up and running in a jiffy....

More people on the railroad, please.
