In keeping with the New York Central....

This hostler has his hands full as he shuffles a Niagara and a class H-10 Mikado.

 

Here's my old faithful H-9d getting her tank filled.

Lets see more locomotive servicing.

Great-looking complex, Garry!

I used one of the flour mill kits, along with a couple of others from Walthers, then added some scratchbuilt sections (mostly made from .060" sheet styrene) to create GERN Industries...

It even made the cover of the December issue of Popular Flux magazine...

GERN Brand Flux - makes everything 3% better! Smile, Wink & Grin

Show me more kitbashed stuff, please!

Many years ago, Whalthers sold a box of building parts so you could scratch build any building you liked. Here are two that need finishing touches yet.

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.

Lets see more favorite locomotives or cabeese.
