A D&H RS-2 Heads out of a tunnel and into the woods.

More Trains in the woods please.

 

Here's part of a train song I wrote when I was a young lad.

Well I love the freight line, and how it cuts its way

Through the heart of a wilderness on an autumn day

By the edge of a winding river, and down on through the flat

From the sidedoors of a boxcar, I ain't never seen a sight like that

Eating up the miles...

A request for more steam powered freights.

Pennsy N1sa climbing the hill with a coal drag!

Show me some more steam powered freights!

Rick Jesionowski

Rule 1: This is my railroad.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Alright, you said ANYTHING...

.

This is a model of a steam powered battle tank I built to represent a Black Coach in my Vampire Counts army for Warhammer Fantasy Battles.

.

I entered it in a Golden Daemon contest in Atlanta about ten years ago and received a commedation of achievement, but no awards. You gotta be amazing to win a Golden Daemon. I decorated the base to match the rest of the army. I should have put a lot more effort into that area and I would have scored more points.

.

It cannot be seen in this image, but it has a scratch built vertical walking beam two cylinder steam engine on the rear. It also had a tender, but that was taken apart to build another model.

.

 

.

Show me anything else steam related.

.
