@Don McErlean posted:Dallas...I think it could go either way, perhaps its no matter. To me, a classically educated Mechanical Engineer who's curriculum in the 1960's was about 80% STEAM and Steam Machinery, I find it hard to link a machine of hundreds of tons, thousands of HP, and filled with super heated steam at very high pressure that can kill you in an instant with a woman. Diesels and cars maybe...ships most certainly...but steam engines and steam machinery that is just looking for the slightest mistake to take your life...not so much.

Mike g - LOL! It's good to know that my photos have a chilling effect Btw - the MOW snow team tell me their secret to keeping warm is taking a swig of brandy every now and again. They say brandy warms you clear down to your toes.

I can personally attest to that statement Patrick. When I worked outside in construction during the winter, an occasional swig would warm the innards....

Happy Front End Friday from the HO angle.
Two Bachmann motive powers - ACS-64 in SEPTA colors (mine) and a Siemens ALC-42 in Amtrak Phase VI colors - at the South Farmington Station. Not to be outdone is a Denver & Salt Lake 2-6-6-0 on the station siding.

Good Friday morning, everyone. I guess I missed last week because there are a lot of great photos here I didn't see before.
I finally put the "elephant ears" on my 3rd Rail S2. They were added in 1946 after smaller sized deflectors did not work. Needed to add these because this is how the engine needs to look for my late 40's themed layout.

Jersey Central's "Harrisburger" slows its approach into Edgewater on the Baltimore & New York Railway. This train which at one time featured dining and parlor cars, was a joint Jersey Central / Reading operation between Jersey City and Harrisburg PA. The westbound train was named "Queen of the Valley" with the east bound run called "The Harrisburger." The connection between the CNJ and Reading was at Allentown PA. The train was discontinued sometime in the late 1950's- early 1960's.
