Front End Friday

Shown before, but maybe some haven't seen these Hudsons.

Well even though it's Saturday morning and I'm late to the party for Front End Friday, here's a front end shot of my Union Pacific F3.

Johan, will you be building those locos or re-painting existing?

Joe,

Williams E7's I can repaint, but all another engines need build & 3D printing. NW2 is almost ready.

Thank you, Scott. Nice front end of your VW bus! 👍

Were you a hippy up in Mendocino back in the early 1970s?

Johan I can't wait to see the NW2

I just ran across these pictures in my photo archives.  I took them in Dec. 2018 somewhere in central Florida.  The engine has Orlando & Northwestern on its sides pulling a scenic excursion train.

Very handsome livery.

2 really old ones

1982. My first Christmas Layout in my new house

1996.  This engine was bought by Dad in either 1949 or 1950.  I set it up on my Christmas layout each year so the family can see and enjoy watching it run.  That's 28 family members BTW  The house is a model that I made of my Parents' house.

Front ends from our 2012 Christmas pop-up store layout at Richardson Farms in Baltimore County, Maryland.

The LC Thomas with the Clarabel and Annie passenger cars have been a huge hit with visitors to our clubhouse's permanent layout:
