WHAT TRAINS DID YOU RUN TODAY?

All hoppers are going back in the 2 containers tonight.

Sweet train! Where were the metallic squeeling sounds coming from SIRT?

I ran my new used MTH PRR L-1a back and forth on my test track. No layout yet... Great looking CNJ steamer. Excellent detail! The CNJ B&O C&O power was excellent too! I always had a soft spot for GP-30s. Nice to see one in there...

I ran my two favorites today.

I ran my long-dormant MTH Premier PRR T1 duplex steam locomotive.  I don't even model the era in which they ran, but I can't part with it because 1) it's a massive, really heavy hunka metal (and I've loved heavy things since I was a kid); and 2) there's simply nothing else like it.  At the same time I purchased it, I purchased a matching set of "Fleet of Modernism" cars, whose prototypes ran behind the T1.  That plus several of the fantastic Weaver PRR head-end cars makes a lovely train indeed.

I wasn't sure until today that the T1 would negotiate the curves on the inner loop of my new layout, but after a simply modification to a plate girder bridge, thankfully it does.

NSDTRAINS, looks like you're using Superior Walls too!  Great choice!  We have them in our addition that encloses my new train room, and I couldn't be happier.

I don't have an image at the moment, but I also ran my Premier PRR A-5 0-4-0, pulling my wreck train.  I need to post pics of that too.  I always realize I need pics when I'm posting.  This forum is all about images and videos, which is great.  I'll post images of this train soon.  The A-5 is a sweet little locomotive.  The bell is fantastic, with an uneven cadence that a hand-rung bell would have.

Great topic!

An R46 on the Q

Haven't run anything today but I generally swap out the trains on the layout once a week, usually Friday PM or Saturday.

Currently, on the track is:

-Lionel 4-4-2 Pennsylvania Flyer set

-Lionel Postwar (1950) 773 with postwar freight train

-MTH Chessie Show Train with the gold GP40

-MTH New York Flatbush Ave. Subway set.

Not sure what I'll put on there next, there are several things I haven't run in many, many months I may pull down such as the LionChief Plus Camelback, Williams/Bachmann 4-6-0, Williams RS3, MTH SD70ACe, MTH H10 switcher, etc, etc. I may pull out the Christmas cars this weekend and get them running.

Also another engine catching my attention at the LHS. Not sure if I'll get it, don't need another one!

SIRT- love the wheel sounds from the hoppers. How many sound cars did you have in the consist?

Been running my K-line LIRR MP-15 and PRR 99 lately. After a swan dive my ATSF 0-6-0 was thankfully OK and cruising the rails once again.

a short freight coming thru....

I've been running diesels...the CNJ PWC Trainmaster and the BNSF Dash 9.

Per my 6 year old's request the Polar Express is making its run every night on our layout.

I ran this li'l bugger, just to make sure its track was clean enough throughout its loop, and to encourage it to stay in the mood to be ready to roll for Christmas visitors .

I tested this new to me BNSF genset.  Great little engine.  Will put in a lot of work in the future moving some cars around.

  Ran.it for over 12 hours in the last 24hrs
