Lionel on the Real Thing | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

BANDOBOGR Forum Member

Here's a thread where you can post your photos of your Lionel locomotive with its prototype. I'll start with Legacy Western Maryland F7 #236. Here it poses on the anti-climber of the real 236 at Baltimore's B&O Railroad Museum.

I wonder who will be first with Nickle Plate Road #765?

Not Lionel engines but I've got the following, also at the B&O Museum:

MTH Railking SW1, Chessie/C&O #8401 with Pere Marquette #11, SW1. The real PM 11, after mergers, became Chessie/C&O #8401 before being restored to it's Pere Marquette 11 livery at the B&O Museum. Our very own B&O Bill even used to be the engineer!

MTH Railking C&O #490 Hudson "Yellowbelly" with the real thing, also at the B&O Museum!

I also had the same MTH B&O Passenger GP9 that is at the B&O museum. I sold that engine (and have regretted it since) before I did a photo with the real one at the B&O Museum.

How about the LL FEF 4-8-4 for a convention fan trip some years ago!

And there was a short line which had a Geep painted for LL, and used Orange, blue and cream!
