Sometimes you just have to pull out the oldies

I'am with you Dave...give me P/W or MPC anyday......

I think the emotional attachment is half the fun.  I pull out my Dad's 623 switcher from time to time for the same reason...

There's nothing like the growl of a postwar F3. It's right up there with a Harley Davidson or an old 2-stroke outboard IMO. 

Anyone notice those "growlers" are also running on Super"O" track to boot? Looks good.

Just posted a thread that follows this same line.  

Nice Dave!

Cool, Dave.

Looks good Dave!  Did you have a cabin car on the end of that consist?

I'm with you, Dave.  I get a big kick out of running my PW trains on my new layout.  If it was fun to run 'em so fast they derailed when I was a kid, it's even more fun now that I have broad curves and long straightaways.

At this time no but York is coming up,  also looking for a C&O caboose.

No need for sound in these puppy's, the growling lets everybody know they are coming.
