I love seeing everyone’s photos and layouts!
A pair of big Western Maryland I2 Decapods are waiting on the servicing tracks for their next assignment. This is on my 2-rail O scale Potomac Valley.
Hope all had a good Front end, have a good weekend

Thank you Scott. I love this paint style best. I wish you good luck in finding one!
Gotta open this FEF with a live “Big Boy”shot I took near Navisota Texas, Nov. 8 2019.
One of my Favorites. You hear it. You feel it. 😜
Well from Big Boys .... we turn to Wee Fellows ...
A not so common maker from a country we don't immediately expect tinplate from .. A Matarazzo from Argentina

Well its FRIDAY! ... although since I retired, this is not as significant a day as when I was working 
Beautiful pictures everyone. @TrainBub - great pic of "Big Boy" plus in your 2 locomotive front picture,Question: the engine in the foreground has incredible detail...who make that? @Fatman - a "Matarazzo" from Argentina..@.WOW I admit I never expected a country like Argentina to have a tinplate maker. Thanks for posting @RSJB18 - Great "Chessie" one of my favorite RR's @matt rapp - great layout pictures Matt, thanks for posting them @SIRT- My goodness, your incredible level of detail now extends to mu or subway cars, great work. @Strap Hanger - nice RS1 and scene @Dave Ripp -Nice 1:1 scale photo -
Well enough text for me...today I have one of the semi-scale switchers from Marx, his "1998" Alco S-3 series of locomotives. His engineering of these using a ruse to make an 8 wheel switcher from a 4 wheel motor is a real engineering innovation. This one, black with white lettering, comes near the end of their run in 1962. The train shown below also contains both the SF work caboose and the ACL lumber car, both somewhat scarce units of rolling stock.
Here is the F.E.F. view of this 1962 locomotive now about 60 years since new.
1998 ATSF Also S-3 and #74563 A.C.L lumber car from 1961
The full train including #4590 SF work caboose from 1958-1962
Well here's hoping you have a great weekend.
Best Wishes
Don

The T&P engine was done by 3rd Rail Sunset. It’s the cornerstone of my collection !!!!
