Front End Friday

I’m hoping that soon we’ll see an O Gauge Front End of the newly-decorated Metro North Genesis 222 in New Haven Hunter Green…..

Happy FeF!  Here is the front end of an R40 -

F.E.F.

Happy FEF - Mr.Muffins got me again with his special runs - Four MTH engines - 2 SD50s and 2 C30-7s. The all white engine is a Kansas City Southern.

Today's front end.  TGIF!

One of my all-time favorite engines in the roster: a humble Consolidation.  But this one's the Heber Valley Hero!  Would be great to see 618 run under steam again someday in Utah!

Well here is an 0 gauge "brute" for you.  This engine is nearly as large as my standard gauge electrics and its the only two motor locomotive Lionel made in 0 gauge until the F-3's in the late 40's.  She is a representative of the B&M Hoosac Tunnel engines an 0-4-4-0 electric some 11 1/2 " long.  She will pull nearly  anything!  Available from 1924-1930.

Here is a little longer view to gain some perspective.

Happy F.E.F. everyone.  Best Wishes

The Blue Comet!

Lionel’s Scale NYC Commodore Vanderbilt in all its glory even though according to purists it’s in the wrong color.  Still a great looking engine.   Lousy puller though.

FEF.
