BNSF ET44C4 #3764 pulls some well cars out of sight on my local club layout.
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.
gmpullmanAnother freight, please.

Here is a slow moving freight in the countryside.

Another freight, please.
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?
ENJOY !

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.
HO-VeloMore switchers and switching.
Here is a switcher hard at work on the BNSF HO scale layout in the Chicago Museum Of Science And Industry.
Show me a freight train.
I really like your refueling scene, Peter.

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.
Remember its your railroad

This little PRR B8b catches its breath between shifts:

More switchers, please.
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.
Here is a CB&Q Baldwin switcher.
Please continue showing switchers.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
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?
doctorwayneMore steam-powered switchers, please.
STRATTON AND GILLETTE number 638. Mostly done, still needs detail painting.
Show me any switcher.
doctorwayneHere'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!

gmpullman Back in the early 1970s I used to have a "working relationship" with this particular Mikado: 4070_fix03 by Edmund, on Flickr Years later I finally have an HO model of it (with it's pre-1957 number): GTW_3734_2 by Edmund, on Flickr

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.
Allan said another 2-8-2
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!
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.
doctorwayneShow me a pusher locomotive on a freight train please - steam or diesel.
This Q4b is giving a needed boost to a B&O freight:

Show me another 2-8-2 Mikado.
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 a pusher locomotive on a freight train please - steam or diesel.
Here is a Kato Business car. ... The prototype for this car is a Burlington business car. Kato painted it for other roads too, but Burlington is the corect one.
Plase show the rear end of any train.
The Grand Valley's business car, Rockhaven, is a shortened Athearn observation car...
More business or observation cars, please.
doctorwayneShow me another observation car or business car with a platform, please.
The "old man" is looking things over from his vantage point on the PRR 1000:

Another observation or business car, please.
SeeYou190...To the other end of the train... Please show me any observation car.
Here's a model of one of CNR's "Mountain Observations", built for a friend...
Built from a Rivarossi coach, the car's length is very close to that of the real ones. I used the roof from a Rivarossi RPO. Paint is from Pollyscale and SMP, with CNR lettering done with C-D-S dry transfers. The brass handrails at the steps are from SS Ltd.
Show me another observation car or business car with a platform, please.
doctorwayneShow me another head-end car, please.
Here is a STRATTON AND GILLETTE Railway Post Office.
To the other end of the train... Please show me any observation car.
gmpullman...Another look at head-end equipment, please. Bonus for an RPO car.
Here's an ex-Pennsy RPO, built from an undecorated Walthers kit...
I de-Pennsy-fied it by altering the porthole-style windows in the doors into rectangular ones. Paint is SMP Accupaint, while the lettering was done with C-D-S dry transfers from an alphabet set.
Show me another head-end car, please.
doctorwayneShow me an express or baggage car, please.

G Paine...Show me a bulkhead flatcar
This is an Athearn 50' flatcar, with the original floor and underframe removed and replaced with a new subfloor of .060" sheet styrene. This allowed the car to sit more prototypically-lower on its trucks. I also added a custom-cast lead weight to improve its tracking abilities...
...then added bulkhead ends from Walther's 53' GSC flatcar. The wooden deck was added to use-up my supply of scale stripwood...
Show me an express or baggage car, please.
