And this is the boiler of # 39 today. It's at Strasburg patiently waiting for funds to continue with the restoration.

Had I been blessed with lots of $$, like being a sports star or something, I often think things like this would be where I would flush all that money or at least some of it.  This and a lot of very old race cars.....

Dennis,

Dave, Tom, Dennis- count me in! Now I just gotta hit the lottery

Caught this train heading to Oyster Bay the other day.

Isn’t the LIRR doing away with all their grade-level crossings???

Yes- on the main line. This train is just leaving the main over Willis Ave and heading north. I'm on 2nd St which is not being eliminated. It's one of the more complex areas of the project since it's right were the Oyster Branch hits the main line.

Here's a link to what the new roads will look like.

Thanks for the info, Bob. I knew I had read something about the LIRR eliminating grade crossings. Although I love trains, I’m glad that I’m not on LI... crossing gates are in the down position between 43 and 50 percent of the time!!!

I am in a Jersey Central mood today.

Great pics, as always, Randy. I also enjoy the Jersey Central (I still have my brother’s first Lionel engine - a NJC diesel switcher). I particularly find the F7 pic interesting... I’ve never seen that paint scheme before. Thanks for sharing.

You’re reading them wrong.  They are campaign stars denoting different operations during my time in VN(68-69).  Navy Corpsman HM2(E5)  The Marine Corps insignia in the middle of the ribbon signifies I served with the Marines even though Navy enlisted.  Compared to others I served with, I was hardly “the man”.

Quarter Gauger 48 - thanks so much!   The Williams by Bachman Hudson runs like a clock .... very smooth and a great puller!  Nice LED headlight too.  Of course it's lite on smoke, as most WbB and Williams locos are.  Of course I knew about the lack of smoke before I bought it.... so no disappointment there.  I bought mine new from a OGR Forum sponsor.

Hi Rob, first Monon steamer I've seen.  Beautiful locomotive'.  Do you have any additional pics, I would love to see more of this beauty'...

Hi Quarter Gauger 48, this is actually The Blue Comet of New Jersey Central RR by MTH parked next to my Monon shop.  I know that MTH did a special run for Mr Muffins Trains of a Mikado 2-8-2, but I did not purchase one.  I do have an F3 though.

If its FEF it must be Friday!

Bob

Nice collection, Bob. The black PC is my least favorite GG1 paint scheme (excluding the bicentennial nightmare and the occasional pink/razorback red/light blue desecration), but there is still something very pleasing about the lines of the engine that always stand out. Don’t remember ever seeing the red/white PC before... it makes the black a bit more palatable!!!

Got it,  The black and gold on the steamer are colors of the Monon, as well as the red and gray.  So I assumed it was a Monon'... Either way it is a beauty'...

looks like you have a nice layout going'...

Box Cab New York

 

The PRR box cab is a L6 electric. They were failed attempts at an electric freight loco design. Better put, they were never fully developed after the failure of the P5 in passenger service and the eventual decision to move the P5s into the freight pool. The 2 L6s and 1 L6a that were built were used in New York as passenger yard service into the PC days.

Cody:

Thanks for the clarification. Though I am a PRR lover, I am not an authority on Box cab electrics.

No problem! I'm not either but I love the Al Staufer power books.

Nice train room too.  RSJMITHINDY nice Steam lineup..Have a fun weekend...I like it when folks post the pictures of their newer diesels and steamers to mention the manufacturer, always interesting. Most of mine are Lionel TMCC/Legacy....1D63E6CF-F1CB-4D8C-8F74-D5553EC7B306973845F9-1240-41DB-BE81-90006F4ED66A

Larry;

You are very kind... my train room can not compare to yours. You have so much of interest going on in the pics you post... this is one of my favorites (love the overhead bridge):

9C9C84ED-C5E5-434B-90E3-84E30DF8FDEF

As for my a,b,c pics... unfortunately, no Legacy engines in the group. The Jersey Centrals (A & B) are Atlas with TMCC, and the NH is an old Lionel TMCC engine.
