Front End Friday

Happy F.E.F fellows:  Here is my add to the great listings so far.  The " mighty" Hafner 1010 streamlined steam loco gets ready to move her freight consist towards the next yard.  She is old, dating from 1938 to 1951 but ready to work.  Recent shop work has cleaned her skirts and given her a new coat of paint, as well as some boiler maintenance so she looks like new - but we all know steam is on the way out and soon she will be downgraded to locals, yard work, and pusher and then the scrap line.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Best wishes

Don

It’s Friday! Great pictures, everyone have a great weekend. Stay safe, stay healthy, Happy Railroading

In addition to GREAT photos, I love your fire house. Was it scratch-built, was it a kit or did it come as we see it in your photo?

Thank you.

Happy FEF Everyone!

THANK YOU RANDY       It is scratch built. There is a couple of better pics of it in the scratch/kit build thread going on now.

Thanks for your reply. Can you post a link to the post with the photos. A forum search showed rather nebulous results. 

Thank you.

Thank you for the firehouse photos. It is a great model. Bravo on your superb craftsmanship.

I fell too many pages behind to comment on or like so many photos.  Suffice to say there are a lot of great looking front ends, model trains, real trains and some vehicular.

Happy FEF

Ends of the front kind of the postwar era.

Patrick, your photos of trains with scenery in glorious autumn colors are stunning. Arnold
