Ed: "More Alcos (steam or diesel) please.

The New York Central "Niagara" 4-8-4 is one of the most famous of ALCO locomotives.

Lets continue with the ALCO locomotive theme.

This is one of my favorite scenes on the HO scale layout at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. Restoration of their old Alco PA:

More ALCos please.

Here is a PENNSYLVANIA PA on Mr. Muffins Lionel Layout in Atlanta, Indiana.

Let's open the category up just a little bit. Show me any diesel not made by EMD or GE.

The New York Central modified some of their RS-3s and moved one of the air reservoirs to the roof to allow for more water capacity for the steam generator:

This is an old under construction model of my beloved Athearn Trainmaster.

The roof on these models is very boring, so I spiced it up a bit. I added a taller fan housing from Details West. There are four sand hatches added to the roof in a completely nonsensical way just to dress it up a bit. I added a big horn and a big bell just for fun. The EMD all weather window is a bit out of place on this model, and it the late knuckle tray above the pilot.

All in good fun.

Show me something that is out of place or should not be there.

Please show something from a Northeast US or Canada railroad.

The TH&B was my hometown railroad, and about 20 years ago, I built a couple of these Stewart (now Bowser) U-channel hoppers, modifying them into cars closer to the appearance of the real ones, following a well-done article in RMC...

The real ones were built in 1914, and lasted into the mid-'60s, the final ones in company service.

Recently, I looked them over again, and realised that I could have done better.  To that end, I've started re-doing the two original cars, and adding another 10.  They'll represent the cars in the period between the mid-'30s and mid-'40s, when they were undergoing updates and improvements.

Ringo58: "Lets keep going with the engines with caboose."

The sum total of the motive power and rolling stock for the home road.

Lets continue the theme. One or two extra cars even.

Nowadays, it could be any of these railroads, although not likely with cars of this vintage....

I don't have a car from the CB&Q, but this Santa Fe reefer can be a stand-in for today's BNSF...
