Hi Kevin, nice classic FE and F3's, maybe F7's, plus a later model Lionel SD80Mac. And a F3 Western Pacific in the background, I'm liking that. :-) Do you run your layout in conventional, or do you have a mix of conventional and TMCC/Legacy with different blocks? Nice photos, thanks!

Thanks! First photo is PW 2355 (actually a repainted and rebadged 2333), Erie LC+ FT, and PW 2353

Second is the Menards beta F unit, version 3.0 with a PW B unit

Third is LC+2.0 Lionmaster SD80MAC

Yes, I have a conventional layout with blocked sidings. I also run a number of Lionchief Plus locomotives that don't require Legacy or TMCC, in order to keep things relatively simple and affordable. Plus, with my 022 switches, the selection would be pretty limited.

I like being able to run a conventional engine on one district at the same time I'm running a modern, command engine on the other district. It has worked for me so far. Here is what that looks like.
