Let's See Your Steam Power!

The backbone of my railroad:

and a personal favorite:

Lionel Boston & Albany #618:

Here's some steam on the Free State Junction Railway.

This model of New Jersey Central #833 is an MTH Premier model with PS-1 that I purchased around 1999. Never run. While it's a good-looking model, I think that MTH used its Premier New York Central Hudson (4-6-4) chassis for this (4-6-2) Pacific. Therefore, the model and firebox are about an inch too long and the trailing axle and cab are a similar distance too far aft.

3463 and the Fast Mail Express pass a west bound El Capitan.

A bit of the gambit.

I've always liked the PRR T1

Here's some big steam.

Generally my favorite steamer to run when I get the chance, the fantasy Daylight scheme AC-12 cab forward, here shown sounding off in the bottom snap:

I like these because they do not derail on curves, make plenty of noise rumbling along their assigned closed-loops, and with their chuffs, emit a goodly amount of storm-clouds level of smoke, especially when run simultaneously, like you can see here, and their horns are a real nice blast. When I run my trains, for myself as well as for guests, I enjoy a lot of commotion, action, noise, and smoke. I find nothing to whine about amidst that cacophony of the sights and sounds of model railroading...FrankM at Moon Township,USA

"Show us your steam power!"

Oh, gosh, I'll never live long enough.... 

I photographed my K-Line Boston & Albany D1a 4-6-6T suburban tank engine for another thread this morning. Seemed like a good idea to include it here too.

Oh, we're talking little steam.

Just got this one at York, NIB.  It tested out fine on the rollers, and if I ever get my benchwork, I'll be able to test it for real.

I also have the same engine in CNJ livery.

Then there's the Legacy B6sb, nice little unit.

Don't want to leave out my little K-Line A-5...

A few recent 3rd Rail acquisitions...
