Bill Great Photos! I never get tired of seeing the CN and GTW !

 

Ralph

Ralph thank you. I always enjoy seeing the CN/GTW when someone post's with them. I liked Rich Battesta's post with the CN Tunnel motors.

Bill, really enjoyed viewing your photos this evening.

Bill those pics are awesome!  I remember those so well! You have a beautiful fleet of locos. So cool!

ATSF

Jeff thank you for all your hard work on my engines and cars. I am soooo pleased with them everytime I look at them. YOUR TALENT remains a part of our layout with all the engines and rolling stock that you created for us. THANK YOU. Hope you are having tons of fun with your Boys. They grow up WAY TO FAST and then they are gone. Glad you are taking the time to be involved with them. Thanks for being my friend. Bill

Trains R ME Thanks for sharing your photo with us. Bill

Alan thank you for your nice words.

Santa Fe Northern 2926 under restoration in Alburquerque, NM. Also a Santa Fe Prarie? on display in La Junta, CO.

Bill, this is an interesting thread you started.  Your loco collection is gorgeous and the ensuing photos are "seeworthy" as well.

Railfan thanks for posting your pgotos they are very nice.

A few more of my engines.

 

 

Thank you very much.

A few CN passenger cars.

 

...these are my three latest additioons to my collection. #2144 and #2127 are MTH Dash-8's 2-Rail versions, both with scale wheels and DCC. #1570 is an Overland SW1500 former Wisconsin Central...

Stefan bery nice. I have the MTH Dash 8's but not the nice lIttle SW-1500 SWITCHER. I have the Black MTH S-2's in both CN and GTW.

 

lOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A GREAT LOOKING GLASS storage place for your trains.

 

Are you still doing the motor conversions on the MTH engines? I think you may have mentioned it at one point in the past.

Below I have posted some of our ATSF K-Line passenger cars. Please show us some of yourATSF CARS.

Good Day Bill,

 

I’d like to see the Gunderson Maxi Stack IV presented in O Scale someday!

 

regards,

Frank

 

 

Frank those are GREAT LOOKING. sommmmeeeeeeee DAAYYYYYYYY the the mfg's will come through for us. Keep the faith

I love the Toronto/Ontario container!

 

Here are a few more pics, hope you don't mind some unusual pics...

 

 

 

Here are a few from work...

 

 

 

Have a nice weekend!

 

 

The only MTH diesel I missed from the recent releases is CN's (former DMIR) tunnel motors. You got three of them 401, 404& 407 - maybe I can locate a 2-rail version some day. If not, I guess I'm gonna have to build my brass kit that I have somewhere...

Frank I agree with you. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

Who didn't want a Santa Fe as a kid!   Once back in the hobby many years later, I grew to love many of the Canadian road names as well.

Stefan hope you are feeling better. Great pictures thanks for sharing with us. Who is in the picture with Mike W?

...here are some oore pics of me related with work...

 

 

...and some more when I'm after my hobby...

 

 

 

Regards,

 

OK! I'm Curious now! Who made the M420R?

 

Prrhorshoecurve, its an MLW Canadian National M420W. I don't know much about it, its originally a brass kit and it has a horicontal pittman motor with two chain drives that power all four axles - similar to what Weaver used to build in. I bought it already built up and painted - just modified the truck frames a while ago. It runs very smooth and is powerful. It doesn't have rigit truck frames so all wheels are at all times in touch with the rails...

Hope this helps,

Stefam glad to know that you are doing better today. Thanks for telling me who was in the picture and thanks for all the other pictures of your shop and the ones you must have made back in Cabada of the CN Mountain Engine which is a beautiful machine.

Mike thanks for sharing your GREAT PICTURES. wow your K-Line 4 bay ATSF hoppers ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE CARS wow. If you ever decide to have those  beauties FIND A NEW HOME PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ATAHE ONES I HAVE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW FRIENDS

 

I have notice that you do post some Canadian engines and cars. Please keep it up!

I see the CN trains every day roll through here. Used to see the GTW EVERYDAY from the windows of the building where I worked. It sar right off the GTW YARDS. 

Ralph the cars look very nice. Steve did a good job for you. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Stefan your collection of CN Power is AWESOME. Thanks for sharing all the GREAT PICTURES.

Thanks for the kind words on the photos, Bill.  I agree, those SF chrome hoppers are sharp....I'll keep you in mind if I need to find them a new home!  Love the CN PAs  by the way.  Are those custom paint jobs?

 

- Mike

Popsrr, thanks! Just waiting to get my Overland Canadian National SD70M-2 that will come out soon. I saw the new MTH catalog - quiet a few CN and VIA items in it, but nothing for a 2-railer. Would have loved that 4-8-2 Bullet Nose Betty in 2-Rail an PS3. Also the Turbotrain - I would have ordered either the CN or VIA in 2-Rail. Well, the cars are a different storry. Well, that orange austrian E94/ 1020 Crocodile in the european line looks very interesting to me!

Regards, Stefan
