It's a classic ALCO engine built right here in Schenectady.

Great pics everyone!  Scott: Thanks for starting us off today!  Here are my photos of the fun kind for this fine weekend!  Have a wonderful and safe weekend everyone!!  For all those who are attending York ... I hope you all enjoy yourself to the max!!  

Friday morning at the Junction.

P5a modified speeds through town.

Nothing like a motorbike ride on a country road in the Fall !!  

This past Thursday morning was a bit overcast as this B&O Docksider pushes cars around the yard.  View from the office of the CEO ... Free State Junction Railway.

The last steam engine built there.  And since the tender shop was being converted to build diesels ALCO farmed out the tender builds to LIMA.  The Boiler section has the ALCO builder"s Plate and the Tender has the LIMA builder's plate.  But in ALCO publicity photos the LIMA plate was brushed out!

Now with the new lights on:

I have taken a ton of pictures so far this York and I will have time to post most or all of them. I figured I would start with the Standard Gauge pictures(and videos) I took of the Standard Gauge Module Association, the group Scott belongs to. These are all from yesterday.

Here are the videos from the Standard Gauge group from yesterday.

I didn't shoot any pictures of the Standard Gauge group today, but I did shoot more video.

The photographer caught an express train just outside of town, passing by a local station.  He was surprised to see a J1a, a fast freight locomotive, leading the consist.  He guessed that some new Pennsy dispatcher saw the keystone number plate, not the round one used on freight engines, and assumed it was a passenger engine.  Hopefully the RPOs did not need heat.

The J1a is Lionel TMCC upgraded with 4 chuffs/rev.  The cars are mostly GGD, with Weaver and MTH

Okay, back to yesterday's pics I took. First stop, S Gauge group. Washing & Old Dominion Club.

Now to the Purple Hall.

This big thing is a scale model that was built and I am not totally sure if it was given/donated. If curious, ask Tony at Trains N Things in the Purple Hall. It is not O Scale, I forget what Tony had told me several months ago when he had it in his store.

I just know that this thing is huge and takes up a lot of space.

What a great day!

Another informal breakfast at Round-the-Clock this AM and a great dinner this evening at the Olive Garden with train friends.

Here are some pics:
