To be honest, I could barely see anything in the picture.  Is there a better view by any chance?

I believe, in order to be prototypical, the locomotive number has to be NYSW 142. Evil [}:)]

Also, Center Flow covered hoppers may be a little too new to toss overboard for formation of coral reefs.

UPDATE: The PRR boxcar that is laying next to the engine has become home to the resident snail name "Slug" and the Abused Female betta, named "Pennsy" Shes abused because all the other fish nip at her! She found the boxcar to be the safest place since she is one of the 6 fish that can fit in there, the other 5 are 5 white cloud minnows that stay at the surface

It is a little sad to see that train at the bottom of the fish tank. However it must be a blast for for the goldfish.... with a 3 minute memory it's like a brand new train comming by over and over again.

TG3 LOOK ! LISTEN ! LIVE ! Remember the 3.

I would as I'm an active Lifeguard, but I don't want to get nipped by the other fish!  Looks like nemo hijacked the polar express, and then kept the ransom anyway!

 It should be NYS&W 141 down there. I have no use for N scale( even less for Z scale)-I can't see them unless I use a magnifier!

And yes, those of you saying this belongs in the MR forum are essentially correct!

Thanks for the correction.  Had I thought about the NYS&W's even-number rule, that wouldn't have gotten by me! Banged Head [banghead]
