And so the debate begins......Most RR's ran their RS-3's long hood forward.

Bob. Let them debate I’m just in it for the fun. The Doughhill Yard master says run it the way you like

Rich, I like the use of the Super O track.

Here is my entry for this week. Two photos of my N Scale Amtrak Acela that I took prior to my N Scale dispersal last year.  It was a difficult decision leaving N especially to concentrate on O because of the acres of space I had to work with on the train table, but I know it was the right decision.  I may buy an N Scale RTR Set or two in the future so that I can run on the my club's N layout just to get my fix.

Happy Front End Friday 

Larry. Thanks for the complement. Your pics are nice great line up

Agreed- your railroad- your rules!

😃 Many roads ran the short hood up front as the engineer liked the visibility better'...I recall as a young kid, LIRR running the short hood up front as it went through Oakdale, LI... Heading East....

Happy FEF

Front, Top, and Rear today, TGIF, It’s nice to have a weekend to regroup, Happy Railroading Everyone...
