I shot these working by the tracks Wednesday. They were both moving it along at a good clip.

Happy F E F !!

Paul, if you really want one , you could always buy an MTH PS1 version and have it converted to TMCC.

Another bad influence is heard from!!!  

But seriously, Larry, the thought did cross my mind, but I have no idea what would be involved (other than money!!!). I do own one MTH engine, a shelf queen Metro North Genesis in NH livery, which I would consider for a conversion. 

ERR by 3rd Rail is TMCC Compatible

So now that I've finished nudging Paul over the cliff....

Front Ends for this fine Friday! 

My Kato N Scale Amtrak Genesis from 2011 is my Front End Friday entry this week.

Yes, the structural integrity of the bridge pier in the foreground was compromised, but all of the rail equipment was able to pass under the bridge without clipping the pier

Lionel, postwar, EMD F-3, A-B-A Diesels lead the Super Chief into the station at the town of Terryville.

A Lionel, 736 Berkshire steam locomotive from the postwar era heads a 17 car box car train on the freight track through the town of Terryville.

Two Lionel, postwar locomotives, an S-2 Steam Turbine and an EMD F-3 Diesel, pull their passenger trains out the city of Christopolis' Union Station for points east and west.

Happy FEF!

Good Day everyone, your pictures are great. I drive over to the RJ Corman terminal in Guthrrie Kentucky a few minutes ago to try and get a 2020 calendar, however no one was there. So I took a few pictures of their trucks. Anyone know how to obtain a new RJ Corman calendar for 2020?

No way you could nudge me over the cliff. I have been in free fall for so long, I don’t even remember what the cliff looks like  

Now, a few salient points on your evil suggestion... while I am aware that ERR is TMCC compatible, I have recently given more than enough money to 3rd Rail for a while (but that will be the subject of another post in the next day or so). And even if I did find a compatible MTH engine, acknowledged Techno-peasant I would have no idea what has to come out of said engine, nor how I go about inserting/connecting the suggested ERR board or boards, so I would need to find/pay a more technically competent individual to do the swap. That would definitely send the total cost over a new comparable Lionel diesel such a another recent purchase (which will also be in the aforementioned post). So I guess I will just have to wait and hope... the first Lionel catalogue is just weeks away!!!

Eeeuuuhhh!!! I can’t unsee that. Talk about ugly.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but yes that is bad!
