Happy FEF. I was hoping this NAVY GP9 would arrive in time for the birthday of the US NAVY; but it only arrived the other day. I picked it up from METCA on Wednesday. So here it is complete with the nose art on the cab. “Cab side art with the Grim Reaper, pays homage to how our enemies referred to this plane ... death from above.” The NAVY train was still on the layout, so I put the GP 9 right to work.

@pennsyfan - As an ex-Navy employee for nearly 20 years, I loved the "Navy" train and all the cars. Thanks for posting. Great loco as well with a super logo.

For my "front end" today, here is the Hafner No 2000 locomotive, available with or without the electric light. The little switch on the front shroud is the switch to turn the headlight on and off (battery powered with the battery held in the boiler). Made between 1940 - 1951. The pictured loco is in the first configuration so would likely be towards the earlier part of that time period.
