More multiples of a type, steam or diesel.

 

ABBA Set of PRR FA-2's!

More Multiple Unit Diesels or Steam!

Rick Jesionowski

 

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!

More multiples of a diesel type.

More multiple-unit diesels please.

A pair of STRATTON AND GILLETTE F units.

Something that is strange... when I was making all these pictures on my 30 by 30 photo-prop layout, I took very few pictures of my F units. I have more F3s and F7s than any other locomotives.

I think as I was making these poses, I thought I had photographed more F units than I had, so I pulled different motive power for the pictures. I have over 100 pictures of my only Trainmaster, and about 70 of my only 2-8-0. I only have one picture featuring any of my three GP-9s.

More diesels in multiple please.

Please show another multiple unit consist.

Here are four re-motored Athearn switchers, converted into sorta SW1200RS units.  In addition to the flatcar at the left of the frame, are another 70 cars following, which these four locomotives had just pulled up the curving 45' long 2.8% grade to what would eventually become the partial upper level of my layout....

How about a small steamer, 0-4-0 for instance.

A friend was looking for a Pennsy A-5, and another friend happened to have one of Bowser's kits for the super-detailed version of that loco.  He "donated" the kit to me, and then I built it and installed DCC, and "donated" it to the friend in need...

How's about another small locomotive?

Kevin: "More weathered equipment please."

Both of these Pennsy E8s were in Atlantic Coast Line livery when they started out. I stripped, modified, painted, decaled, detailed and weathered them as you see here.

More worn and weathered equipment please.

I primed this boxcar with black and white, then gave it a light coat of boxcar red to simulate fading paint on the panels.

More weathered equipment please.

The rust on this boxcar are weathering decals made by a company that specializes in military miniatures.

This is another example of a "weathering" attempt, not since repeated.
