Here's "The Bee", the Erie Northshore's local accommodation pulling out of Lowbanks....
Originally a gas-electric, she was converted to diesel-electric after only a couple years of service.The moniker, originally a nickname used by the locals, was inspired as much by the paint job as it was by the fact that she buzzed into town pretty reliably after the conversion. Management picked up on it fairly quickly, and she's now listed in the timetables as such...The Northshore's very own "name train".
How about some more local service?

This Tangent 6,000 gallon tank car started life as an undecorated kit.

The work-in-progress shots were included because they were literally a work-in-progress, as my original intention with those cars was to simply fix their sagging floors and leave the cars otherwise as they were. Things got a bit out-of-hand.
Anyway, thanks for your kind remark.

Built in 1929 for service from Collinwood to Linndale, Ohio, through the Van Sweringen's Terminal Tower, they later saw service on the NYC from Harmon, NY to Grand Central Terminal from 1953 until around 1978.

I've got a BLI Hudson, Mohawk and Niagara...
But believe it or not, the locomotive that gets the most runtime on my layout is my humble BLI "Blue Line" Mikado.
Please click on the photo below to get a better view of the loco.
What started off as an "As Delivered" USRA heavy mike, has been transformed into a closer representation of a class H-9d as used by NYC subisdiary Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. The dynamo, once perched on top the smoke box ahead of the stack, was replaced with a correct one on the engineer's side near the cab. The single air pump on the fireman's side was removed and replaced with a pair of pumps behind shields on the pilot deck. The road pilot itself was replaced with footboards. The USRA 8-wheel "shorty" tender was replaced with a 12-wheel Rivarossi. A brass backup lamp casting replaced the molded-on lamp.
I refer to this locomotive as "Old Reliable". I've run this locomotive on my layout for over 10-plus years and it has never failed me.

0-6-0Hello Wayne That is one strange loco I love it. What is it?...
Thanks, 0-6-0. George had it almost right...it's a Beyer-Garratt, from, if I recall correctly, Kitmaster (later Airfix).The model is actually OO scale, and is non-powered. My LHS got two of them as unbuilt new-in-the-box kits in an estate lot. He sold one of them, then asked me to build the other as a gag for a mutual acquaintance who was born in England. The "gag" part was lettering it for a former local railroad. They owned two ex-NYC Hudsons, numbered 501 and 502, so 503 seemed like a good choice.
