PTC, the set you pictured, except for that direct buy B&A Hudson set, is what got me back into O gauge.  I had been modeling Narrow Gauge but thought O gauge would be more fun for my son.  I still have the set, but it will probably be leaving the station soon.  It was a great set and those passenger car roofs got a lot of attention, and the first time Lionel offered an F3 in an A-B-B-A combination.

 

 

 

 

Of the 8 main lines we operate, three are occupied regularly by SF sets.

That ought to keep a few heads spinning!  Those 15" cars are nice, but after you have tried 21" cars your hooked.

I wonder if we will get to page 5 today?

Bob,

I didn't know Howard Zane allowed 3-railers in. ;-) I used to go when I lived in Fredericksburg in the late '80s and early 90s.  I modeled in HO in those days.  It was always a great show.  I'm glad the DC Hirailers were there.  Excellent photo!

I think that Howard Zane is no longer involved in this show.

I wouldn't be surprised he must be well into his 70s by now.  Not to say that's too old, just he had so many interests going.  I read his book.

my 2026 project I picked up. missing the pilot and trailing trucks, and the slide shoes had holes worn in them. Ran pretty bad until I put some solder on the shoes, then it about flew off the track!

Dave,

Good job on the 2026.  Mine came in a box with 2 complete sets and some other odds and ends.  The front truck was missing.  lo and behold, I found it in the bottom of the box.  I just slipped it back on and it runs fine.  I don't know how it was originally secured, I haven't looked into it.

Thanks guys....

 

Gary...I can't take credit for building the skyscraper.  It was built by Rich Rossback of East Coast Enterprises/Custom Model Railroads.  Rich Roman and his crew which includes Rich Rossback are advertisers and sponsors here on the forum.  I wish I could show you more but Allan Miller would want me to wait for the article!!

 

Thanks,

Alan

Thanks, but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for the proper person at Amtrak to submit this photo.  The web site has regional media relations contact info for professionals (and they stress only for professionals), but nothing regarding anything like this.
