Front End Friday

Happy F E F!!

Happy Front End Friday!

Front End Friday! Due to backlog work at Proviso shop (Chicago), North Western sent commuter engines to Marshalltown shop to catch up the works.

For this fine Friday ... a variety of ends of the front kind!  Have a fun weekend everyone! 

Happy Friday everyone! This was me in a loner  truck last week mounting up a container for GM

A few front ends from EnterTrainment Junction.

For FEF I always like a good front end photo.  Since we had that PRR Shark topic earlier, thought I'd show my Shark.

While I argued that the body and other details make this Lionel a (mostly) PRR BF15, from the front it is all BF16.  It has the 3 chime horn, sand filler caps on the pilot, and the large nose door.  I plan to remove that horn and replace it with the BF15's single chime horn, and remove the sand filler caps.  Unfortunately, not much I can do about that door without some reconstruction beyond my capabilities.

And yes, the ladder (engineer side) that was added in 1960 will come off.

Great photos! I forgot 759 was there. I must have saw it when I was 12 but didn't remember it. Thanks for the reminder!

This is a picture from a few cameras ago. This was from 2015, the Christmas my Polar Express berkshire blew a motor and the 1947 2020 had to come to the recuse! Happy Front End Friday. 

A Happy F E F to all here!

Bulldog and Sharknose at Driftwood:

You can never go wrong with a PA front end:

Although I rode the Yampa Mail in '63 and '64 Dad took this pic in '66 and I wasn't there. That dome was from the Royal Gorge consist which was truncated in '65 and the dome was moved to the Yampa Mail consist.

Happy FEF!  Pictures taken yesterday in Fairborn, OH.  He was sitting there waiting for the block to clear.

Happy FEF.

Photos of Fun for this fine pre Christmas weekend!  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Late to the party.  On the road to AZ, this is the closest to a front end I could get.  Somebody tell me about those cars.  Are they car carriers?  Sure are a great canvas for the graffiti artists(?)

Here's an old one.

Have to get mine in before the clock strikes 12! 

The last FEF before Christmas
