I told her to get down but she said her fire had been dropped and there's not enough steam left to move!

I thought you said "Track Cleaning CATS"!

Well, don't tell Otis. He thinks he belongs.

Here’s two Masonite track cleaning cars that I did for the Club. When discussing a Club colour scheme, Mr. Bainbridge kept insisting “Pink with purple polka dots”!! I called his bluff!

Here is a homemade track cleaning car I constructed from an Athearn BB undecorated kit as per John Allen.  The masonite block rides on four bolts and is spring loaded to apply pressure against the track. 

Everyone with a homemade track cleaning car, please show it.  -Rob

I guess this is my lucky day!

Please show me a modern mainline.

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.

By the 1960's, the Kansas City Zephyr suffered from lack of passengers, and sometimes the train had only three cars behind an E-unit. Commonly, it had a baggage/RPO, a dome coach, and a diner/parlor/observation car of the late 1930's. 

In my opinion, it is the ultimate "pike sized" passenger train. 

 

Please show another "pike sized" passenger train.

Its been more than a day and no replies for the wood or paper industry.

How about a Pike Sized passenger train? Remember them? Here is an "oldie, but goodie".

More "Pike Sized" passenger trains please.
