Firelock76Aw, you know what I mean!
OK, I admit rhyming riding with smiling was a little bit of a stretch.. but c'mon, it wasn't that bad, was it?
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Nah, besides I always appreciate sincere efforts!
A former part of the Reading calling itself "The Road Of Anthracite". Is nothing sacred?
Firelock76 Aw, you know what I mean! "Her dress stays white and snowy bright, upon the Road of Anthracite!" And the Reading and Northern does have steam excursions, although I'm sure #425 is burning, ahem, bituminous. It doesn't have a Wooten firebox.

Hey, I LIKE that "Blue Comet" inspired paint scheme! Then again, as an old Jersey guy and Jersey Central fan I do have to admit to a certain partiality!
"Beauty's in the eye of the beholder" as the old saying goes.
They did tone it down, it looks like. The undercarriage is now black again. Blue may be a darker shade, too? Or it just got that way naturally. I don't know.

The Lackawanna's gone, they don't care anymore, so what's the difference?

It would be like painting a steam engine stagecoach yellow and green (C&NW) for a Burlington or Milwaukee Road-inspired tourist line. But toning down is good. maybe they were trying to attract kids with a "Thomas the Tank Engine" motif. All it needs is a Gordon face!

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Gordon is a Pacific (4-6-2), also.
I like Gordon with the smile a LOT better! The scowl would frighten the kids.
Besides, Gordon's world famous, what's he got to be PO'd about?
Murphy SidingLaugh You read my mind! Even to the point that I knew it was Gordon the big freight engine and not Thomas the smaller tank engine. Gordon usually has a sour look on his face.
No wonder he's scowling. Gordon hauled the EXPRESS! Not a lowly frieght train!

They've made him haul freight a few times. It never goes well.
Gordon reminds me of several old head co-workers who think they are above doing actual work.
