Let's try it again.  Here's my Proto 2000 EMD switcher displayed on my desk.  Now I'm using imgbb, no sign-in needed.  Is my photo visible?  Keep up the colorful locomotives.

(Please tell me if you can see the photo)

I can't see your picture.

Central Pacific's Jupiter was pretty colorful for a steam locomotive.

Please show me another steam locomotive that is not all black.

How about more grade crossings, this seems to be popular and working well.

Here's the engineer's view of the crossing at Indian Line....

...and what would be the fireman's view...if he weren't trying to recover his fire after opening the firebox door just as the hoghead widened on the throttle, sending most of the fire through the flues and up the stack...

...and the aftermath when the Model T pick-up, loaded with crated chickens for market, stalled on the crossing....

Fortunately, the train wasn't moving all that quickly, and the driver and his brother escaped unharmed, although some of the chickens didn't fare quite so well.

Show me another grade crossing, please.

I love your Tyco stockyard loading pen. It looks very nice. On my railroad moving cattle by rail has been out of date for a long time so my loading pen is full of tumble weeds instead of cows.

Please show me cattle.

Rick said: "More EMD SD Units!"

A CONRAIL SD40 leads a Norfolk-Southeren SD40 at the head of a mixed freight shortly after the merger.

Lets keep it rolling, more EMD SDs please.

After a long, hard process I finally managed to complete my first custom locomotive with a fantasy paint scheme. Near the end, the thing decided to fight me tooth and nail, particularly when I was trying to put the shell back on the chassis. All in all, I am very proud of myself for this accomplishment. Is it perfect? Of heck no, but for a first time I think it could have been a lot worse.

SD24's were the last high hoods purchased by the Burlington. 

 

Please show one or more EMD SD unit(s).

Seeing as no one has posted, Let me reset it.  A Wheeling and Lake Erie High hood waits on the Donora Branch, for a Steel train to pass.  The steel train will be going into Donora

Let's see another high hood

 

(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).
