New York Central #4053 is shown before the number boards were completed. It was one of three locomotives painted in NYCs Jade Green.

How about a maroon loco?

More BN cabooses (cabeese?) if you please...

It has been a day and no BN caboose. I have a G scale one outside but it is raining so I'm not inclined to go photograph it.

Here's a caboose of the late, great PRR:

Show me another caboose, please. Bonus for a color other than red.

A BN caboose fades into the distance as an Empire Builder train awaits additional passengers.

More BN cabooses (cabeese?) if you please...

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.

Orange and black B&O F7s?

 BnO_F7-4645 by Edmund, on Flickr

Yep, the B&O bought ten A units and ten B units from the Bessemer & Lake Erie and put them in service before painting them blue.

They did find time, however, to place the bronze Capitol emblem on the nose doors, though Yes

How about more coal drags?

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!
