Front End Friday

Railking

K-Lionel

My meager submission for this week.  A PRR K4, a prewar face version at that, while an Amtrak FL9 hides in the background.  Sure that makes sense!!

Thanks Randy!  That was my Williams one.  For a more era appropriate grouping, here are a few more K4s with a few EMD invaders. All these locomotives are Sunset.

I offer 2 front ends for this Friday, a MTH, Rail King, PRR K-4s and a Lionel, MPC Era, Jersey Central, Blue Comet

Happy FeF!  Here’s an R12 on the #1 line riding the el circa 1978. Some MTA genius that year thought painting over subway car  graffiti with white paint would discourage such conduct, not realizing that they were giving them a perfect white canvas to write upon. Genius move. -

Happy FEF!

A new entry this week. MTH Premier RS-27 w/PS-1 (QSI). Engine lights up but doesn't run. The trucks are in a bad way. She's back in the shops for an overhaul. Sharp looking ALCO tho.....

@Yellowstone Special - Vern thanks for the comment. #520 was an interesting loco, only led one set outfit # 1542 in 1956, a very low end 0-27 set.  Many years later however, she did give up her body to become, once chrome plated and fitted with two anti-aircraft guns on top, the caboose to the L.A.S.E.R. set !!

B&A #53 rumbles past the station on my old layout. Now that i am focusing on the New Haven i'll have to either re letter this or find it a new home.

Latest MTH Railking release - SP C-630
