Duckunder Terminal Rwy: Diesel power!

Its nice.  Really nice.  And the layout is as good as ever.  But Im' partial to those 0-8-8-0s you posted some time back.  

Beautiful.

Thanks, Lee and Arthur.

 

One of the 0-8-8-0 locomotives is shown waiting to switch the Old King Coal #2 steam coal tipple (more modern than OKC #1).

Very nice, love the photos.

Will,  you and George have done an amazing job with this - and relatively quickly too!

 

I've just met George via email on another subject and look forward to perhaps meeting you both someday. Actually, I think I did meet you Will at our first York in Oct 09...

Many thanks!  Yep, it seems fast but it actually takes a few weeks to get things done.

Will

Great pics.   

Peter

Great story & photos......... Well done.

Will, now you are talking!  Steam engines are great, but diesels are king for me.

 

Art

Wow. Those are some rather fantastic pictures. I am so blown away by the level of artistry many demonstrate within this hobby. Just beautiful locomotives doing what they do and surrounded by some really realistic and cool scenery.

 

My compliments

 

PS. I like steam, but......and with me, there is always a but...LOL....I really love diesel locomotives.

Will,

Your railroad is beautiful.  Please make sure those hard working men are paid well - it looks like back breaking work.

 

Is a video in your future?  Your old ones were very good.   

Glad to see you had the 0-8-8-0 on the Ready Track just in case one of the diesels broke down!

 

Gilly

Thank you, Peter.

The Duckunder has lots of diesel power to supplement its steam. I'll try to take more photos of the diesels in the future.

Many thanks for your kind words.  The artistry is made possible by George Lasley, who is a master craftsman, as you can see.  He realizes my visions and concepts.

You and everyone are always welcome to visit here in Raleigh. 

Happy holidays,

Will

You'd think that track crew would finish up their work, and yet they never seem to! 

Videos are a good idea. Let me see if the old camera still functions.

Best,

Will

Yep, the N&W X2 0-8-8-0 awaits its switch list.  Thanks Gilly.

Really nice layout! I love your Duckunder Terminal #5000, it is really cool!!!

Terrific railroad.

Am always saddened to see diseasels inevitably supplanting steam

What a great looking layout.  You should be very proud!

Thank you, Larry!

Rex,



Appreciate your comments, but you don’t have to worry about steam being replaced by diesels on the DUTRY. Steam rules!

Keith,



You probably guessed the GP30 #5000 started out life as a Lionel Legacy CP unit. The announcements even have a Canadian accent, which probably makes the unit a collectible now, since Lionel no longer records specific announcements for each road number but uses generic ones instead.



Good weekend,



Will
