Those are cool Ed!  The fact that they were originally made not far from you and sent to Brazil and a friend of yours from Brazil sent you the modelsIndifferent

Now that's really cool, I would happily display those models too

Odd and unusual.  Here's a good example.  What is one to do with that coupler.  If Cosmetics ever has a function, someone just let me know

 

More odd and unusual locomotives please

Nice Green Machine Kevin!  Even if I lived in Florida, a must have to own one of those loco's too!

That locomotve does not exist any longer. I needed the mechanism for a project, but I photographed it a few times before I destroyed it.

I even used it in my Halloween 2018 picture.

More loco's that are a bit out of place in your roster please

These two electrics were a gift from a friend in Brazil:

The one that looks like a "Little Joe" was actually made by GE in Erie, Pa, not far from me. I guess it could be on their test track before shipping?

More locomotives where they should not be.

 

Nice Green Machine Kevin!  Even if I lived in Florida, a must have to own one of those loco's too!

I couldn't resist this one.  It doesn't belong in the box that it has been in for 35 years.  It was given to me on my 26 year old golden birthday by my girlfriend Lavonne.  A fond memory!  Both the gift and the girlfriendStick out tongueYes

Very Handsome isn't it?  I bet Garry would like this one!

The original receipt in the Box for 35 years.  I only ever looked at this thing.  I took it out last year for the first time ever.  I was amazed it ran like a champion and with its traction tires,  it pulled more cars up a 2 1/2 percent grade than any other loco I own.

 

More loco's that are a bit out of place in your roster please

More "far from home" loco's please.

What is this BURLINGTON NORTHERN locomotive doing in my personal fantasy world of semi-plausible nonsense?

More locomotives where they should not be.

More misfit locos please.

I bought this one years ago on one of those closeout sales:

Garry: "Next....Please show me another locomotive that does not fit in with the railroad you model."

CONRAIL GP-40 #6520 and the NS loco in trail don't really fit my scheme, but they have been on the railroad or in the storage cabinet almost from the beginning 15-years ago.

More misfit locos please.

A locomotive I like, but not my favorite.

I like my C&NW GP7 made by Atlas / Kato because of its quiet and smooth mechanism. It was a gift to me. It is not a favorite because CN&W is not a road I model. I operate it mostly to handle freight cars interchanged between C&NW and CB&Q. 

Next .... Please show another locomotive that does not fit in with the railroad you model.

Kevin: "Show me another constructions scene of any type or style."

The placing of the new Black River Station required the removal of the Commuter/RIP track and the turnout that accessed the track. Here the track and switch have been removed and the old ballast and ground cover with it. I decided to leave the track bumper in place, for the time-being.

More construction scenes please. Past or current.

Another track-end please.

This is where the tracks end now, but construction is underway. This scene is on the HO scale layout at the Railroad Museum in Ogden, Utah.

Show me another construction scene of any type or style.

Another scene with double-track, please.

T-Trak layouts are all double tracked. This is from the Georgia T-Trakkers layout... and it continues the Godzilla theme of 2020.

More double track please.

Glad to see your 0-6-0 David. It is my understanding that the 0-6-0 in England was like the 4-4-0 in America, kind of the "standard" locomotive design for a very long time. Yours is beautiful. I don't think any 0-6-0 over here ever looked so fancy and handsome.

NorthBrit
Next  A wildcard of your choice

Giving me a wild card can lead to goofy happenings, like the awakening of Godzilla!

Show me another train on curved track. Godzilla is optional.
