Steam locos

How about five of them? That's all I have .

I think my favorite is the  2-6-6-2. When it's running track speed you can hear the drivers chufs go in and out of synce.

Any one else show a 2-6-6-2

Have a good day.

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!
