Nice. Shot a similar view 10 years ago at the club.
Hey Matt,
I like the ground shots.

Hey Ron, who's Alcos are those? Those look nice
Did Lionel make a PA ABA set?
Now, did ATSF have any map refers with steam and signal lines? If not, why is that car placed were it is, if the prototype is followed.

I don't know Dominic, I couldn't talk to the conductor. Might have been a setout. ATSF had some weird trains based on needs. Look closely at the photo below.

I forgot to mention these Alcos were a Lionel scale ABA set extensively modified and super detailed with scratch built pilots and other pieces by me. You can reference the build by searching,,,converting lionel scale alco PAs to 3 rail scale #1 pilot.
Maybe more info than you wanted.

Those are truly nice PAs. Looks almost like 2-rail Key models!
I 2-railed a pair of Lionel PAs. I was struck by how good those units were, before and after conversion.

Very interesting. Looks like the train has both a NYC trailvan COFC flat, a PRR X42 double door box, and high level coaches at the rear. Looks like a mid 1960's SF CHIEF.

Who's cars and A unit are these Soo? The finish looks pretty good for plastic (I'm assuming here) on the cars and what does the A unit look like in comparison please?
Ron - how about a link for those of us on iPads and no "search" button?
Hello Sam,
The E8 and cars are the latest MTH product. The cars are plated and very nice. I'm happy with them.
George
I like the zebra road switchers. Need more of them, less WB.
You're taunting us, Santiago. We recognize the triple square engine room windows.
Lol Tom, I'll review it soon

I have pictures of the Santa Fe PA's pulling freight in California in 1968. They were relegated to freight service before they were scrapped

Johnathan, my ex girlfriend must be on that train because there's a helluva lot of baggage cars for 6 cars of people. 6 people per car that's 36 people. There must be one on there with a lot of baggage so it must be her

If that's the case, maybe she rode this extra that had some additional heavyweight head end cars? I could never figure out why until you provided the only viable explanation. All the RPOs are for all the letters to anyone who would read why you didn't understand and didn't listen.

Not totally related to this thread, but it gives me great name for a new mixed road M&E train called the "Drama Queen". Just needs a rider coach on the end.
Jonathan, I love it. I had a FU*K of a week last week that started with my uncle shooting his pinky of while in Argentina and ended in girlfriend drama.
Actually it should just be a train wreck.

Needed the cars for Hillary!

Wow. I'm really sorry. That's not a great weak at all. Hang in there! Train therapy has always gotten me through down times.

I haven't sustained any bite wounds form life chewing me up and spitting me out yet!!!! That vacation had the potential to be amazing with a life time of memories its a lifetime of memories alright.
To all of you ATSF folks, would you buy an original Super Chief 1 & 1A locomotive set? Would have to be a 3rd Rail product. I like these qwerky but historic locomotives.
