The Wearin' o' the GREEN.

New to the Great Northeastern Railway, this locomotive is destined to be re-lettered in Great Northeastern Railway (GNR colors are also green, gold, sliver and white) livery and lead the GNR's flagship passenger train (named after our former Chairman of the "Bored", the late Chaz Harrison pictured below), the "Chazanooga Choo Choo".

Another green engine. Ives 3241 (I know, I have all sorts of trouble running it on O gauge track ).

Happy St. Patty's Day.

Bob, which type of 0 gauge? I built the separate tubular layout for my tinplate because some didn’t run on the main gagaves layout. When I tried to run tin on the club’s Christmas layout which is fastrack the pickup didn’t reach the center rail because the wheel flanges were touching the roadbed. As I’ve said on other posts Lionel is not backward compatible.

Greg, is Outline an AF term? Looking at your picture I guess those wheel flanges don’t hit the ties.

I'm not sure if American Flyer ever used the term Electric Outline but Alan Schuweiler titled Chapter 5 of his Guide to American Flyer O Gauge "Electric-Outline Locomotives".  I labeled two of my files of photographs "AF Electric Outline Engines" and "AF Steam Outline Engines".

All of my O gauge tinplate runs well on Fastrack. They do not like Fastrack switches however so I don't use any switches on my layout.

Bob,

My tongue was firmly in my cheek with my comment about the Ives engine not running well on O gauge track:  it's a standard gauge engine. I just sat it on my O gauge Gargraves track for the picture. It was my father's; I've never run it.

Regards,

Bob
