Front End Friday

Suzukovich, tell me about those NP EMD units.  They look just like the ones I used to see when I was a kid here in  western Washington.

Here's mine TGIF. Not my best but works

 

I love your winter layout!! Love the videos of your trains moving thru the winter scenes.  What an inspiration for me!!  I've always dreamed of a winter layout and perhaps when I give my a layout a total makeover one day, it will be set in winter .... thanks to YOU!!  Keep those photos and videos coming!! 

Thanks Pat, funny I always enjoy your layout. As for videos. Been meaning to make a new one but  just have had a lot on my plate lately.  School starts in 10 August, thank god!!!!!

See if this front end works for ya.  

How did you do that?

Sorry for late response. I wish I DID do that. Just searched "steam engine animated gif", and you will get a bunch of them. Copy n paste into your post. I wanted to put one in my signature, but can't size it down. 

And, on an iPad, is hit and miss if it works.  

 

Not to get too far off topic, but this one's kind of exciting

That last one was from a you tube video I belive was a SD90 being delivered in South America

That really came out great. Like how you incorporated the K Line bridge Pier with creek into the layout.

One of my favorite locomotives! mostly because the cab number is the same as my Birthday!

Not your typical railroad front ends but distinctive nonetheless.

My contribution to Front End Friday.....I may have posted this before but I don't remember, if so.....my apologies.

This is a photo of the Frisco local that ran between Oklahoma City and Tulsa Cherokee yard.  The engineer in the photo began as a fireman on the AT&SF in OKC.  He later worked on the CRI&P in El Reno, OK, and the DRG&W firing the Yampa Valley Mail.  All the while, he was waiting for an opening on the Frisco which he obtained about 1977 and has remained to this day as a BNSF engineer.  It was an outstanding experience to work with him.

None necessary.  It's a front end shot of THE "Allegheny".  Who doesn't like that?
