GEEPS! GEEPS!

Nice.  Looks (and probably sounded) like a lot of fun!

The water  / stream looks good!! what did you use for the water effects?

I like GEEPS too......

 

I like Geeps and F Units as well. I don't have any running Geeps or F Units in O now (maybe again in the future) but I've got about 6 or so various Geeps in HO. In addition, I have about 16, yes, 16 F units ranging from N to O gauge. 

I love geeps and F units as well!! 

Very nice c.sam . to bad you don't have a SF b unit to go with your trio of geeps. That would look really peachy keen.

 

Gorgeous!  SF is my favorite, but I've recently fallen for the purple ACL.  Beautiful layout  as well.

Thank you very much for sharing.

I'm a fan of Geeps, too. They're great alone with a few cars in tow, or in a consist with a longer train. That's my big fear in the next MTH catalog -- a bunch of Geeps in roads I like at the same time. I have three CNW Premier Proto-1 CNW GP9's and a pair of Proto-2 GP9's (Rail King from old Premier tooling) I've picked up over the past several years on eBay. The ones that follow are the first ones I bought new.

 

 

I renumbered this one because they shipped me three with the same road number. I renumbered two of the three, then lucked into another road number. One of these days I'll consist all four of them with a long freight, but for now I only run them in pairs.

GP-7  Atlas model.  The Shawmut Line GP-7 was a Pennsy GP-7.

Grandson Micah's GP 20

And a Weaver GP38-2.

Geeps and Fs rock-can't have too many. Just as cool in prototype form, too.  Love to watch the NS Geeps go by.

Sounds like a good running session.  Those ACL diesels are gorgeous.  Love those Legacy SF units too.

Love your weathered Santa Fe geep.  Has just the right amount in my opinion.

Great photos.

Nice pictures, hope you figure out how to post the video. I think you can connect to a PC and transfer the files that way, but I have never tried it?

 

I really like the colors on those ACL engines. Something different, I have been tempted to get one, but have pretty much been able to stick to my chosen road name so far and these haven't got me yet. May be getting close though, I have had a couple of weak moments. Mike Wolf must also like the ACL, the colors look awfully familiar for some reason.

I love the old TMCC Geeps from the late 90s' The 3 that I have are great. Pullmor motor with Magna-Traction....a killer sound package....and about a 1lb drawbar pull makes them very desirable.

We used 'Modge Podge' which I don't recommend. We've noticed  that after some time it would become cloudy and often 'bubbled' or blistered. Our club layout is in an unheated warehouse and the lack of humidity control is the likely culprit.

 

 

 

Here is a custom painted PW Geep cab mounted on one of Lionel's first TMCC Geep chassis from 1996 (I think it was)

Looks like you all had a lot of fun! I love my Milwaukee Road GP-9 by MTH which is MU'd with a Lionel  GP-9 (non-powered). I also love my Milwaukee Road F-7 ABBA consist. I am waiting for my ABA F-3 Lackawanna from MTH (due in Oct).
