Steam locomotive park displays

Find an old AHM Casey Jones 4-6-0 kit....a famous loco, old enough to be retired by the 40's or 50's.  I've bought 2 at a price a lot less than a O scale 3r loco.

Thanks for the great idea!  I don't know why I hadn't thought of that since there are so many in the real world and I always enjoy seeing them.  We are including an ice skating area, circus, and play park for "our families and their kids" in our layout so a steam engine would be a great addition for the "kids" to "play" on.  Turns out we have an American Flyer that my wife got in the early 50's that we don't actually use.  It just sits on a table by itself.  That would be perfect since it will be on the far side (8' away) where scale won't be an issue.

We used to have an old caboose (and a jet) sitting in our City Park back in the 50s-60s.  I don't recall which RR donated the caboose (N&W, SAL, or ACL) and it seems like the jet was a F-84 or F-86.  We also had a Polaris missile drone sitting in a fountain at the end of High Street in the downtown area.

Presently we have a N&W steamer displayed:

since this isn't listed under 3RS, my suggestion would be to put a prewar locomotive on display in your park.  after all, in the postwar world, these were the engines being replaced and retired.
