Lionel Hudson with TCA tender shell from 1968. Frame is Fundimensions.
@farmerjohn, Johnny, thanks for the information, it’s a cool looking locomotive and I can see why they wouldn’t want steam underground for life and health reasons.
Here’s my picture for the day, It’s @Farmerjohns beautiful roundhouse, a truly beautiful part of his awesome layout. Happy Railroading Everyone

Most under ground mine engines were fueled by helium. Zero carbons...
@Quarter Gauger 48, thanks for the clarification, sounds reasonable and I’m ready for you to post more pictures with the little people that look so real. Your scenes were very interesting to review. Happy Railroading Everyone

FOR TODAY: Seen while riding my bike around Patsburg on Friday afternoon.
Four railroads ... four powerful locomotives. Well, some more powerful than others .. lol!
Patsburg Ave as seen from High Ridge Rd. I
It's 12;45 p.m. and it looks like Clay Jenkins is arriving back in town early. He usually arrives on either the 4:00 or 4:30 commuter train. I'm sure his briefcase is full of work papers which will keep him busy all this weekend.

Thank you mike! Really appreciate your kind words!
FOR TODAY: Since this is the start of National Fire Prevention week, here is a tribute to the Patsburg Fire Dept. ... and in reality to all the real life fire fighters serving throughout our country.
Elmwood Hose Co. serves the Westend Community of Patsburg with a Mack B Pumper and Mercedes Benz Ambulance.
Arrival of a new Seagrave ladder truck ... a welcome addition to the Patsburg Fire Dept. Chief Bulldog Merson, wearing white helmet, inspects the truck before unloading.
Nothing says "fire apparatus" like the nose of a Seagrave!
Engine Co. 5 protects Lower Patsburg with Engine 5, Ambulance 5, Heavy Rescue 51 ( out of view deep in the engine bay ) and a very recently purchased used mini pumper from Garden City FD.

Wow Pat, that’s a lot of fire protection equipment!
Wow Patsburg must have passed one heck of a Fire levee to get such a wonderful looking aril ladder truck!

FOR TODAY: "Dog gone it Earl! I wish it wundn't this early in the morning! It's still too dark to get a good gander at that brand new Mercury you just bought. From what I can tell it's a bute! You say it got a straight eight under the hood?" "Yep that's right Vern, a straight eight and she will get on down the road too! Let me tell ya! Once I went down to the dealer and signed off on the paper work, I hoped on in, tromped on the gas and pealed out the parking lot onto US 11. I had her in high gear! Then to my disbelief when I looked in my rear view mirror I saw a state police car commin up quick with its emergency lights flashing. I thought what the heck, so I tromped on the gas some more. I was leaven that o'l cop in the dust until I had to stop for a train at a grade crossing. Well you can only guess how that turned out!"
