While most of my small towns use the Atlas station, Dunnville's station (and its elevated right-of-way) came courtesy of the New York Central's deep pockets when they owned controlling interest in the Grand Valley Railway (known, at least by the Central, in those days as the Grand Valley Central).  They dropped out pre-1929, leaving the largest station, by far, on the road...

The station, as shown, is one storey above street-level, with the centre block the actual station, with railroad offices above.
The far wing is for the express department, and the near wing is occupied mostly by Canada Post.

Here's an oldie, formerly a CPR unit, and before that, in Santa Fe Warbonnet paint, and originally an undecorated unit from Globe, part of an A-B-B-A set....

Three of the units were dummies, while the one shown had a single Lindsey truck-mounted motor - not great pullers, but pretty fast.  Stick out tongue

Show me another cab-unit, please, but not one from EMD.

Really, the DELAWARE AND HUDSON never ran in Delaware? Did it make it to the Hudson? I had no idea.

 

According to a map in my Historical Guide book D&H seems to be centered at Binghamton, NY with branches going North through Albany to Montreal, West to Niagara Falls, South through Scranton, PA to Washington, DC with side branches to Newark and Philadelphia

 

They started as just another PA coal hauler, their name came from their origanal plan to expand south and east to Delaware and the Hudson river. They did get to the Hudson River, but they realized they could be a bigger presense in upstate NY, because at the time we just had some little, unconnected railroads. They soon became "our" railroad. Later, they aquired track to other places like DC and trackage rights during the creation of Conrail.  Vendors at train shows try to sell me NYC locomotives, they either need to do their history, or are just trying to rip me off. Just because I am not an adult doesn't mean I am dumb about railroad history. And don't get me started about Guilford...

Sorry, i've been ranting.Zip it! Back to SMS.

Uhhh, MEC 404 is a U18B, not a U25B... I’m sure it’s just a mistake...

You are right, big DUH for me EmbarrassedEmbarrassed EmbarrassedEmbarrassed Typing too fast & thinking too slow late at night. MEC did have U25s from the bankrupt RI, but that came later

U-25B locomotives produced smoke due to turbo lag, and it got sucked back into the air intakes. The soot was quite visible on light colored locos like MEC 404

Show me a narrow gauge locomotive

Do you model the Lackawanna as well?

Just little slices of it here and there.

I remember seeing some of these concrete towers when I was hanging around the Delaware Water Gap area back in the '70s.

Most of my Erie sights were in the Cleveland area.

Here's some old film I shot back then:

Back to the regular "Show Me" thread... a flatcar with load.

Cheers, Ed

Thanks for showing the Erie E8 and PA next to that other railroad's loco, Ed. Laugh Looking good! Thumbs Up I also see a DL&W passenger car in the background. Do you model the Lackawanna as well?
