Frank, what gorgeous livery! Is that an Atlantic Coast Line?

For today.

Patrick, I'm glad you enjoyed my silly posts during today's Yankee game. I was a little concerned that I, once again, went way over the top on this Forum.

It was a lot of fun for me to watch my favorite team win yet another game (I think they have now won 14 out of 15 taking turns being the hero in each victory) and simultaneously posting on this Forum.  My favorite was the last one with Frank Sinatra (he loved Lionel trains as much as we do and he sure would have loved being a member of this Forum) singing The Theme Song New York, New York.

A PRR M1-A rumbles by with a long drag of coal hoppers.

Randy's gorgeous Pennsy Steamer and coal drag inspired me to make a video of my favorite Pennsy Steamer and coal drag:

MTH Railking K4 hauling 9 postwar coal dump cars and Pennsy postwar caboose.

When pulling that many postwar operating cars thru O31 curves and 022 switches, you want to be sure the wheels are well oiled.

Here is a video of my Pennsy coal drag on the other end of my layout:

I love the look of the Pennsy coal drag because it reminds me of something from my childhood. I had a lovely aunt Ruth, whose husband was very successful. She gave me many Lionel trains and accessories as birthday and Christmas gifts throughout my childhood. She was a beautiful woman who was the spitting image of Donna Reed. Anyway, she and her husband lived on a 5 acre estate in Pennington, NJ with a sprawling split level home, and they were members of the Hopewell Country Club, not far from their home in NJ.  I would spend 2 or 3 weeks of my summer vacations with my aunt and uncle, when we often went swimming at the Hopewell Country Club. The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks went right by the pool area at that country club, where we would see Pennsy coal drags the seemed to go on forever! I was always astonished at how long those coal trains were.

The coal drags I saw there were pulled by powerful diesel engines, and maybe GG1s (though I'm not sure about that), but not steam engines. The Pennsy locomotives I saw were very powerful and made the ground shake.

I think memories like mine above add a lot to the charm of model railroading.

Fabulous photo Randy!!  It captures the raw power of the locomotive pulling what appears to be a long train. 

Arnold, No, it's not ACL, it was a MTH RK 25th Anniversary set issued in 2005.  The set was a  ABA F3, and for separate sale, a matching four car passenger set.

Buyer Beware!  If you are going to the big game tonight, be sure to hold on to your wallet if you are anywhere near these scalpers:
