Happy New Years Day Diesels

The more diesels we share, the happier this New Years Day will be:

Happy New Year!

Great detail on those diesels and beautiful layout and photos.

Some Williams F3 units. These we're part of their fantastic Golden Memories series.

Melgar, your pictures are nothing short of Diesel Paradise!

                                             Dad and I kinda like diesels...

Impressive, Brian! Especially the wide range of road names.

Arnold Caribari, what a way to begin the Year 2018: Go Diesels! This is a great thread and many folks have fun pictures to enjoy...Wow! 

I'm overwhelmed, flabbergasted! This has become Diesel Mania!

I will comment later about the most recent replies showing mountains of diesels. 

John a/k/a Jay Jay has a photo of a Burlington Northern in this thread that inspired me to make the video below. There is something about the beautiful green color of the Burlington Northern Diesel; it's kind of like British racing car green; very appealing and attractive.

Mine in the video below is an MTH Proto 1, and one of my few Premier models, pulling postwar coal and log dump cars:

Larry, thanks for the compliment. I thought of the title of this thread last night around 10 PM. It seemed like the logical thing to post, after Steam Engine Saturday, Smokin Sunday, etc. I almost posted it last night at 10 PM,  but decided to hold off till this morning until it was indeed New Years Day. I was thrilled that no one else thought of it and I got this post going.

I will do this post every New Years Day for the rest of my life if you guys would like that!

Today is the coldest day this winter in the NY metro area. We need our trains to haul massive quantities of oil as quickly and economically as possible to heat all of our homes. The video below shows an MTH Proto 3 CSX Diesel pulling a long train of oil tanker cars. Turn the volume up and listen to the realistic diesel sounds as this engine runs with prototypically slow, smooth power:

Hilarious!😀

New Year's Diesel Day inspired me to finally fix my post war ATSF Alco. The motor died and needed to be replaced. I've had the new motor for a while just never got around to do the repair.
The original lasted 60 years so I figure the replacement should do at least half that.

Here’s my new Lionel LEGACY Conrail SD40 from Black Friday heading the CB&Q USRA hoppers my parents got me for Christmas. Absolutely flawless runner and amazing sounds. It’s 7 degrees Fahrenheit out here, so I’m staying inside celebrating 2018 to play trains.

That'd would look really good with Cody B's SD80M he got at the fair, I'd suggest bringing it to the Jan. Show or Greenberg, lovely engine!

Running great, excellent repair job!
