Growing up in Northwest Indiana I am fond of the Chicago South Shore & South Bend railroad and the Elgin Joliet & Eastern railroad. There is not a great deal of O Gauge for these two railroads but I thought I would share the little bit that I have and would like to see what others have.

Here are a couple of pics of the trolleys that I was running in the video. First one is a Lionel from a few years back. The second one started life as a Pittsburgh trolley but was purchased by the D&W Short Line and relabeled as the South Shore Line.
It' all good fun on a rainy day.

Here are two American Flyer S gauge cabooses I purchased from a fellow in Michigan by the name of Richard Schneider. Rich does excellent work. I put Marx 3/16 trucks on the South Shore Caboose and will do the same for the EJ&E. The picture with the Marx stock car is for size comparison. Hard to find CSSB and EJ&E cabooses in O or Marx 3/16.
Here is a picture of a South Shore Little Joe that Rich made from two Marx number 21 tin/sheet metal shells. He also made his own e unit for this, Rich has some great skills.
Sure would like to see others CSSB & EJ&E.
