gmpullmanPlease show me your most recent locomotive acquisition.
Holy Deja-Vu Batman!
Here it is again, the United/PFM consolidation! It is not only my oldest locomotive, made in the 1960s, but it is also my most recent purchase.
Actually, I bought two other locomotives since this one, but they arrived destroyed.
Show me another recent purchase.

NVSRRLets see more oldest locos in the fleet
While I am not 100% certain, I believe this United/PFM consolidation is the oldest locomotive model I own.
Show me another steam locomotive with eight drivers.
1500. a GP38 (only one with a plow) is the oldest in the HO fleet that is running. but:
That is the oldest on the layout. sits in the locomotive shop. An old 1956 Varney that was my Grandfathers. not DCC equipped. Nor even has a lightbulb in it. even better, spent most of its life in that very building where it sits now. Maybe someday it will be run and pull a train again.. This one does run
Lets see more oldest locos in the fleet

My oldest is 1982, and a pup compared to Garry's locos. Garry, that's really neat having your grandfather's loco, not to mention running the one your father gave you in the 50s. More oldest Locos please. Regards, Peter
Oldest locomotive ....... mine is from the 1920's.
Looking at the top shelf of above my work table, you can barely see a black object. It is the remains of a live steam locomotvie built by my grandfather in the 1920's.
The lower shelves have some old HO from the 1950's.
My oldest HO locomtive is this Tenshodo NYC Hudson. My father brought it to me from Japan when I was a teenager in the 1950's.
Please show your oldest locomtive.

Please show me a high hood alco unit
Ringo58Please show me a train modeled after a prototype
I am not much for prototypical model railroading, but this train from the Kentucky Railroad Museum's HO scale layout looks like it qualifies.
Please show me another open top hopper car coupled to a locomotive.
SeeYou190 Show me another train near a farming field. -Kevin
Show me another train near a farming field.
From the same layout, a farmers field in the background of a grain elevator being serviced by a GATX MP15. I think the same field in kevins picture, the bridge is behind the elevator. This layout has definitely gotten grayer since the first time I saw it when I was 8. Still a jaw dropping layout. In the background of the layout, New York Central 999, the first train to reach 100mph.
Sorry for the poor picture quality, I screen shotted this off a video in my snapchat album, heres an arerial of the field, both the bridge and grain elevator are visable. This layout truly needs to be seen to belive. This isnt even half of the layout!
Please show me a train modeled after a prototype
EDIT: upon closer inspection, the bridge in kevins photo is above the barn, not behind the elevator
