Well F.E.F. fans we seem to be off to a great start. @RSJB18- great shot of the B&M RS3 what a neat livery as well. @leapinlarry- super photos of your layout for sure, I really loved the B&O GP and the "Safety First" switcher. Great shots!! @MELGAR- really neat photo of that tank switcher coming through that narrow spot.

Well for me today, I am going to move past all the glories of old and show the latest engine on my layout. An Amtrak F59 PH in surf-liner livery. I actually rode on this train once from LA to San Diego right along the beach, quite a beautiful ride. This model is by Williams by Bachmann. From a model perspective, this guy is large and heavy and powerful, complete with diesel sound. You can see how large it is from the O-scale figure at trackside. IRL - EMD started the streamlining in 1994 and this is a 3000 HP locomotive.

Here's hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend. Please stay safe in this awful heat, we hit 104 yesterday afternoon.

Best Wishes

Don
