I don't know either? Some getting a little bored maybe?
 
Maybe post some song lyrics.  No one else is.  A little boring of a Saturday. Boring indeed I'm ready to hit the rack.

How about a "kit-bashed " road switcher. ( I have no idea if there's an actual prototype for this .)

More not normal /  non run of the mill / what the heck is that.

Well , look's like I brought the thread to a screaching halt.... yet again !

I will fix this by posting a NEW ( yes that's right folk's ) a new picture.

This is Demon's Hollow Shay # 3. Currently on the R.I.P. track. ( She suffered a "Catasrophic" Fall onto a concrete floor about 10 year's ago...... been waiting on me to fix her ever since. )

Show me something Broken, or just not working.

what's a Lima

Lima Locomotive Work's. Their probably best known for their Shay geard locomotive's , but they also built steam donky's and some other stuff.

The Demon's Hollow & Pacific purchased Their Shay # 2 from Lima Locomotive Work's Way back in 1912.

EDIT: Maybe I should have kept it simple..... Show me a Geared locomotive ???

Rust...... It's a good thing !

Show me an ALCo freight diesel.

How about a Pair?

Alco C-628 and C-630.

Show me a Baldwin Freight Diesel.

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!
