My small layout definitely has the B&LE distinction...a customized Lionel 4-6-2, a MTH AS 616, 3 Lionel SD-38's, 14 jeeps, 13 coal hoppers, 2 customized cabooses (done before MTH came out with them...i won a customizing service as a raffle winner at Rainbow Gardens), 3 custom passenger cars, 2 MTH sand cars, an MTH crane, 2 custom flatcars, and 2 custom gondolas. I didn't leave out the sister railroads....2 custom Union RR gondolas, a custom Union RR flatcar, and a DMIR flatcar with an CN ISO tank. Dave Minarik ( Mercer Junction) has an extensive railroad at his shop and home featuring the Bessemer. The B&LE hauled iron ore thru nearby Coolspring Twp. on its way to the Pittsburgh steel mills. The Bessemer may be a Fallen Flag, but it's far from forgotten.
