O Gauge W&LE with Montour Railroad Photo Freight

wheeling45wheeling45OGR Forum Member

Hello everyone. This summer has been incredibly busy as I usually switch from train mode to airplane mode as I hit the airshow circuit on my days off flying a Douglas DC-4/C-54 at airshows for the Berlin Airlift Historical Foundation. I finally have had a stretch of days off to spend around the railroad and I am happy to post a few photos from some recent work that I have finished. I have recently purchased two MTH Rail king Montour SW9s and a caboose. Needless to say they have been weathered and our part of my "Heritage" fleet of locomotives on my modern W&LE railroad. So here are some pictures. Enjoy.

The Montour is one of my favorites, both to model and ride the bike trail.   Thank you for posting the wonderful pictures.  I also, (as Malcomb mentioned), have a Montour Caboose project that has yet to get completed.  Surprisingly after all these years, the W&LE has rails again on old Montour bike trail/right-of-way to the Westland spur, now with a tank car yard for collection of Marcellus Shale Gas.

Excellent work!  I get to see the W&LE regularly; My office is walking distance from the Glenwillow [Ohio] depot. 

 

And on the subject of C54's, we had one at our air base along with many older pilots who did fly the Berlin Air Lift [many Colonels wearing the Air Medal].  That plane was a fun ride.  Must add:  many years ago.
