Front End Friday

Happy F.E.F fellows:  Here is my add to the great listings so far.  The " mighty" Hafner 1010 streamlined steam loco gets ready to move her freight consist towards the next yard.  She is old, dating from 1938 to 1951 but ready to work.  Recent shop work has cleaned her skirts and given her a new coat of paint, as well as some boiler maintenance so she looks like new - but we all know steam is on the way out and soon she will be downgraded to locals, yard work, and pusher and then the scrap line.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Best wishes

Don

In addition to GREAT photos, I love your fire house. Was it scratch-built, was it a kit or did it come as we see it in your photo?

Thank you.

Happy FEF Everyone!

Thanks for your reply. Can you post a link to the post with the photos. A forum search showed rather nebulous results. 

Thank you.

Thank you for the firehouse photos. It is a great model. Bravo on your superb craftsmanship.

I fell too many pages behind to comment on or like so many photos.  Suffice to say there are a lot of great looking front ends, model trains, real trains and some vehicular.

Happy FEF

Great Pictures Everyone, Thanks for a great Friday review!  We are getting ready to travel back home to Tx and so my photo's for today are limited to what is left on my computer till I get home and  renew my photo file.  Here is a bit of an odd one, it shows three "front ends" all of my Hornby modified tank engines awaiting their next assignment.  These are former clockwork engines that have been refitted with Marx electric drives.  This was a early e-bay purchase that actually worked out well despite my initial doubts and the fact that the engines are not "stock".  The Marx drives work beautifully including the remote reverse and can pull my various consists of Hornby freight and passenger wagons, so you get the look and the operation, but not the authenticity...I can live with that. 

Best wishes for everyone to have a safe and happy weekend.

Don
