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

Here's a couple of flat car loads. One is a bit unusual!

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?

Jarrell's Show me Something: May 2019
Posted by G Paine on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 10:20 AM

 

Welcome to the May, 2019

 

"Show Me Something"

 

Thread

 

Dedicated to the originator, Jarrell

 


 

 

 

This is a place where forum members can post their photos featuring a view of a "requested" scene or object.

 

If you show the item requested you can then make a request of your own, or choose to stay with the current request.

 

 Welcome Everyone!

 

After 24 hours, the same rules apply, or you can post a new photo of your choosing and make a new request. Your photos should be of models only, not a "real-life" scene. It's all about having fun! Let's see those photos!

 


 

 Welcome Everyone!

 

 After 24 hours, the same rules apply, or you can post a new photo and make a new request.

 

 The last request by Allan (BRVRR):

How about a maroon loco?

MEC and B&M had a lot of maroon locos

IN the 1950s MEC started converting to green, show me any green loco
