Please show us some steam-powered switchers.

Here's a Pennsy B6 pulling a what?! Double stack!

Please show something else anachronistic, incongrous , odd or "something's just not right here?"

I bought this Bachmann 2-6-6-2 at a now-long-gone hobbyshop...

...and there's a thread HERE on its re-build.

While it's a decent runner, not much of a puller (or pusher, which was my intended use for it).

Not as big as your H8 but not a tea kettle, either. The PRR bought these compound articulateds from the N&W and got a few years' use out of them. In a somewhat unusual practice they were adorned with Keystone number plates normally reserved for passenger power:

Another articulated locomotive, please.

A bird on the fence.  As it got its eyes on the sheep?  Or is my son on his quad bike coming to the rescue?

 

Next  -  More birds  or horses.

Please show me an F-unit lashup.

Passing right by the coal wharf. These are one of the few (4 As and 2 Bs) passenger F7s that the NYC bought thinking they were going to need the tractive effort to climb the grades on the B&A over the Berkshires. Turns out E-units handled the grades just fine and these engines were assigned to the Big Four before being converted for freight service.
