do you have B&O.....c&o?

I recall those days very well.  Some B&O not repainted into Chessie colors yet.  Thank you, Brian!

    nmp...

Lionel 626 B & O SeitcherSuch a beautiful blue color. Not a great puller, but very peppy engine. One of my favorites.

A few classic diesels for your viewing pleasure...

And a couple more...

B&O AND C&O streamlined passenger trains are featured in this video.   I'm particularly pleased with the opening shot which recreates the Harpers Ferry picture on a vintage C&O timetable I bought on eBay.

Gonna be B&O one day....

Hmmm....  Chop-nosed GP9?????  I have a couple WM Circus scheme GP9s that look like that but no chop nose.  I’ll have to get Photographs

                                             somebody is having to much fun !!

The WM chop nosed all of their GP7's and 9's starting in the early 60's with the last one done I believe in 68(?). This was done for better visibility. Almost all of them had a one piece windshield with the exception of #25, a GP9, the first completed and with a two piece. No high nose geeps survived in to the circus scheme. 

Thank you for the scoop!  I think I read that a long time ago.  

New Lionel Legacy light Mikado arrived. Very pleased. Runs well on O42 curves, even 031. Was on the fence with this one but glad I bought it. Always loved the B&O "Q" class Mikes.

The Lionel Legacy 4500 will get a trip to the B&O Museum in Baltimore for comparisons and photos with the REAL #4500. I've done the same with my C&O 490 and Chessie/Pere Marquette #11 SW1 switcher

This one is for Briansikvermustang and the other Chessie System lovers. K Line engine pulling coal dump cars, oil tankers, gondolas and caboose, while Nat King Cole sings:

          nice one Arnold !   have a Merry Christmas !!   Happy Holidays 

You too Brian. By the way, my first car, which my father bought me in 1974 for $1,400, was a used sky blue 1967 Mustang convertible. Stupidest thing I ever did was to give it away in 1983 when the transmission went.

                                     WOW Arnold !   what a very nice 1st car !! 

                                                    doing some train watching !!

Sounds like a nice car Arnold.

I have been wondering when we would see a Silver Mustang Photograph!

 I had a blue Mustang at one time, but my first car was a ‘69 Galaxy XL, blue I might add.

K Line Chessie System Western Maryland Diesel (very smooth running engine with nice detail including rotating fans on roof) pulling mostly scale box cars:

The K-Line engine is great!  I recall seeing lots of Chessie trains in much younger days!
