My 10’-by-5’ layout is small and looks best with small locomotives and short trains. This week, I ran Conrail #8606 SW8 diesel switcher with just two boxcars and a Conrail caboose.

Conrail was organized by the US Government to preserve rail service in the Northeast following the bankruptcy of the Penn Central – which was created by the merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, so I run this locomotive with boxcars of the PRR, NYC, and New England railroads.

The boxcars are Pennsylvania #19247 (built 1959), with my hobo friend climbing aboard, and Boston & Maine #73199 (built 1942).
