Thank you for the kind comment, it has been a fun journey and I am glad you loved the layout.
Here is a photo of Big Steam in the Round House, four 2-6-4, K4s Lionel 2035s, three with modified Boiler fronts. At first, I usually bought four locos to be able to run 2 trains on 1 track for two loops at the same time. I did buy four for Lionel 2-4-2s plastic locos, and Lionel 2018s and 2026, 2-6-2s as well. The stubby Lionel 2035 K4s, with Magna-traction and heavy weight, are still my favorites for my 027 layout but I have been running my Lionel 2065 and 2046 more lately too.
