What a great thread, Walter! But then again, I'm a bit biased as the CNJ is also my favorite road. My grandfather was an engineer on the CNJ (see photos below), and I've been a fan my whole life. My O-gauge CNJ roster consists of over 25 locomotives and probably 100 or so other pieces of rolling stock...I can't pick a favorite!!

Here's my grandfather at the controls of CNJ #107 as it takes on water and coal at the yard in Ashley, PA...

And here he is (on the right) posing with a co-worker in front of CNJ #1601 in Wilkes-Barre, PA...

And here's a pair of CNJ Geeps and a CNJ caboose currently in service on my small basement layout. The caboose weathering was done by Steve P. (or "SIRT" as we know him here on the forum)...
