Heartland Division CB&QPlease show the rear end of any train.
This coach, a rider car on the tail end of a rather long detouring express train, acts as the caboose for the conductor and rear brakeman, but a few railfans are aboard too, in quest of some rare mileage...
There's a narrative and lots more photos of the train to be found HERE.

Show me another 2-8-2 Mikado.
Ed said: "Show me another 2-8-2 Mikado."
NYC Mikado #9519 passes under the Route 32 bridge at the head of a short freight train. This Broadway Limited Imports, NYC/P&LE H-9 2-8-2, #9519 has been on the layout for 15-years. It was s Christmas present from my wife.
Another 2-8-2 please.
Remember its your railroad

Here is a PRR L1s with a coal drag!
Since we now have a B&O, NYC, and PRR we need another road's 2-8-2 to continue the show!

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!
I detailed and painted this brass CNR S-2-a for a good friend...
...one of many of his CNR Mikados, along with a host of other wheel arrangments, mostly CNR prototypes.
Show me another Mikado, please.
doctorwayneShow me another Mikado, please.
Back in the early 1970s I used to have a "working relationship" with this particular Mikado:

Years later I finally have an HO model of it (with it's pre-1957 number):

Show me a locomotive sans-pilot and trailing wheels, i.e. 0-6-0 etc.

Here's another model of your loco, Ed, also owned by the same friend, and also having the same first name as you...

A remarkable coincidence, Dr. wayne
Thank you!

STRATTON AND GILLETTE number 638. Mostly done, still needs detail painting.
Show me any switcher.

Living the dream.
Here are a couple of Baldwins, alas not steam. This pic was taken after detailing and adding in decoders......
OK, how about some more switchers?
ENJOY !

Another model of a CNR switcher...
Originally a Proto "Heritage" model, I was going to get rid of it, as it was a very poor puller. After removing the flywheel and some electronic stuff, I was able to get enough weight into it, making its performance more than just acceptable.
I stripped all of the undersize piping from it (my guess is that the die cutters were working from blueprints of a real USRA 0-8-0, but were unaware that pipe sizes refer to interior dimensions rather than external ones). Working from photographs, I re-detailed both loco and tender. The locomotive's frame was lengthened at the front end to accommodate CNR's signature drop-down handrails, and those well-recessed air reservoirs are brass tubing, filled with lead.
Show me more switchers, please.

Ed Asked for more switchers.
An ALCO S-3 and a SW-8 working the team track in Black River.
Let us continue with the switcher motif.
More switchers and switching. Regards, Peter
I really like your refueling scene, Peter.

Erie1951I really like your refueling scene, Peter.
Peter's ability to capture realistic atmosphere in his photographs is incredible.
Everything in his scenes looks like it belongs there and nothing is missing. It is amazing.

Here is an ABBA set of FTs, hauling a "much too long for the layout" freight......The caboose is on the far end of the layout, behind the green/yellow CNW reefer.
How about some more freights?

Some more dissapearing trains please. Bonus points for BNSF motive power and well cars making up the train.
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.

You have to take my word for it, but there are passenger cars behind this AMTRAK locomotive. This scene is on the portable layout from the Orlando N-Trak Modelers.
