3/24/23 FEF Something a little different for today.

Happy FEF.

A PRR, USRA, 0-6-0 switcher brings coal hoppers into the yard.

The Mighty Hudson!

Pet Peeve:      It's nice to see the scale pilot wheels on our models rather than the grossly undersized ones found on 97% of Lionel's scale steamers!  This photo was lifted without permission from Andy's FS post this morning of his wonderful brass Lionel Smithsonian Dreyfuss   :-)

Some old Williams Brass PRR stuff

An old Lionel NW2 diesel switcher is “resting” on a siding on our 4’ x 4’  Lionel 027 1950’s style layout.

Happy Friday!

Thank you. I don't see anything wrong with your contribution either. Nice GN lineup.

Thanks Bob, I like that angle also, but you would freak if you seen the rest of that side of the layout! LOL I have to run them around to see what it looks like coming from the other direction towards the bridge!

Here's my contribution. The models were shot on the Golden Gate Lionel RR Club layout at the Hiller Air Museum in San Carlos CA. The E5 was shot at the Illinois Railroad Museum in the late 1990's.

Happy F.E.F. folks, here is my contribution today.  the Marx 1998 in Rock Island livery from 1962,

Guys, I am putting this message below my train pic for today so that the monitors don't get too upset.  However, I did not know how to address all my "Forum Friends" otherwise.  Dallas Joe, Coach joe, Lee Drennan, Sitka, leapinlarry, many others I want to thank you for your prayers and well wishes for my wife, it made the last months easier and her life better.  I am sorry to report that this morning she lost that battle with cancer and went home to God.  Thank you all for everything.

Best Wishes

Don
