Lionel really did a nice job on these early Scale F3. Lots of nice detail and they sit lower than many of Lionel's E & F units that had the unfortunate 'High-water' look. Plans are to install Kadees to close couple the ABBA's and eventually the cars. I have the two B units for this set and 8 K-Line 18" passenger cars. Haven't had the opportunity to run and video the whole train yet.

Great Front Ends everyone...NYC fan, that is one handsome engine, a classic "10 Wheeler", who made it? I am going to "pile on" to tnkMarx and his great grey NYC 588 type GE 70 tonner and the B&M Deluxe boxcar with a NYC 588 of mine.
Here is the maroon NYC 588 and its (sort of) matching NYC caboose. Not quite a front end shot but close enough I hope, my phone (which is my camera) gave up the ghost yesterday and is in for repair/replacement...

OH NO... I hit the "post" button too soon. Here is the second photo as a large size shot.
This is the Marx "Meteor" #994 large size sheet metal loco and a consist of 7" cars. This train, although it is hard to see, also included the somewhat scarce "Nickel Plate" , sheet metal, 7" tender.
Sorry for the mess up in posting. Best wishes for a nice weekend. It has suddenly turned cold (60's) here in central Texas and the day is dark and overcast...so no yard work today, guess I will just have to play with my trains...OH Dear ! (LOL)

Beautiful Front ends folks, Don McErlean, it’s cold here in Tennessee also, RSJB18 Bob, that’s a great picture of your corner picture with the new electric pennsylvania locomotive, and the lights in the buildings look great,
B&M 4-4-0 #934 eases the local passenger into the Walpole NH station on my friend's O Scale B&M Cheshire RR back in 2007. I have no clue on the engine manufacturer but it was most likely a modified 40s or 50s vintage kit.

B&M Beautiful!

Thanks Larry. It's a fun little engine to run. Always enjoy your photos too.

Leapinlarry: Wow, you have done it again my friend. That dual trailer on flatcar, with the "Ford Exchange Engines" trailers is just amazing. Those trailers evoke the era when Ford was deeply involved in motor sports. The film "Ford vs Ferrari" is from that era. OBTW, in typical Texas fashion, after 60's yesterday it will likely hit 80's today. Larry hope you get some of this nice weather in Tenn as well...although for me it means I likely won't be able to ignore yard work again today .
Great pictures everyone, hope you all have a wonderful weekend

Anything looks good in that paint scheme!
My first Williams 44 Tonner! Also my first UP power but I was so pleased after watching the presentation by Trainworld last weekend I had to order something. So I did and I'm very pleased. Nice horn and bell. Enjoy.

Nice layout, Jim! Plenty of room to let that 44 ton fly!

Whoops, was I running a little too fast? Sorry.............. give the 3 railers a bad name.............. I have been found guilty of being just a bit speedy! But they were HO people.

A couple more BEEPS- just picked up these shells this week from Trainland.
In both cases, these are long hood forward. RMT marked them based on how the RR's ran their GEEPS and RS's.
