Well Lee, that is some tanker...or is it the LNG tender for the diesel in front? I know UP was experimenting with natural gas powered locomotives and wondered if that tanker could be one of the tenders in use???
Oh well...since Lee opened with the UP, I thought I would follow suit.
Here is one of my favorite GE 44 tonner's, the UP version from Williams by Bachman. New to the L&S, just purchased, but I really like these loco's as they go around my little layout with its tight 0-27 curves easily. Has sound as well, great motor sounds. Yes-- you can just see the front end of the Lionel 6464 - 100 Western Pacific ("rides like a feather") boxcar from 1954-55
A lot older, from 1950-51, is the Lionel # 2023 UP Alco AA units. This unit from Lionel's "Golden Anniversary" set was put out in this color scheme to celebrate 50 years of Lionel toy train production (1900-1950). The golden years for sure, but we all know that it doesn't last ...
Well Happy MWMon to everyone...have a great week.
Regards
Don
