Wow, Brian, nice presents'...  And A Very Happy New Year to you and Marci too.  All the best in 2020'...🥂👍🏻🎆🎈

Here are a couple of PRR H (2-8-0) models.

The first wide firebox H6 (on the right), the H6a, was first built in 1901 and the last H6b was built in 1913.  A total of 1,845 H6a and b engines were built with 699 superheated in the 1920s.  These were Pennsy's primary freight haulers until the H8 started to arrive a little later in 1907 and took over mainline duties.  The last iteration of the 2-8-0, the H10s (on the left), arrived in 1913.  A total of 1,206 H8, H9, and H10 models were built, with many of the H8 engines rebuilt into H9.  The H10 is a Weaver model, and the H6 is a 3rd Rail model.  Both have ERR installations, and the H10 has an operating ElectroCoupler for branch line duties.

Note:  There was no H7.

My Christmas present. My good friend John scratch build that S.B.R. FM Trainmaster.  Really nice detailing work. ❤

That's a beauty Johan. Very nice details and weathering.

Still building layout but here's my entry into front end Friday. Both are K-Line with TMCC, the steamer is my 2-6-6-6 Allegheny and My Lackawana F-3 

Good afternoon, Pennsy M1A # 6715 is sitting in the hole while Pennsy K4 # 3858 flys pass on the engineers side with a daily local passenger train and one head end milk car while Pennsy L1 # 520 pass on the  fire mans side on the outer main line with a long boxcar drag.

Anyone in the mood for a Pennsy sandwich ?

Thru the trees beyond all this main line action a Pennsy B6 is shuffling load coal hoppers for Fritzville Coal.

The kids are getting a great show while they take a break from ice skating.

Happy FFE everyone and I hope everyone is having a festive holiday season !!!!!
