STEAMday Sunday 1/12/2025 edition

Photos/videos show my Lionel Legacy model (2231120) of New York Central 2-8-0 Consolidation #960 on my 10’-by-5’ layout.

The prototype of Lionel’s model was a Southern Pacific Harriman Consolidation that burned oil and had a Vanderbilt tender, so it is not exactly representative of New York Central 2-8-0 #960. However, based on photographs of #960 on the website of the New York Central System Historical Society, the model looks very similar to the real New York Central #960 that was built by Alco (Brooks Works) in June 1909 with road number #7812 and scrapped with road number #1195 in 1954.

Hello,fellow Steam Crazies!  Arnold, thanks, as usual, for getting us steamed up!

Yesterday, on SwSat, we saw Central Railroad of New Jersey GP7 no. 1524 on a short commuter train.  No. 1524 has been assigned to freight service today, so it has been replaced today by one of CNJ’s famous 4-6-0 Camelbacks, no.763.  Let’s enjoy seeing steam while we can, because no. 1524 and her sisters will soon replace all steam on the CNJ.

Happy STEAMday Sunday!

I know, Christmas is in the rear view..... This was from several years ago, my Lionel PE Berk, and Rivarossi NYC Hudson in GASP! HO! I've owned that engine for about 50 years and it still runs great.

Thanks Arnold for keeping the steam pressure up and ready to get us rolling today!

Lots of interestingly  wonderful pics and videos everyone!

My steam offering today is of a B&O 4-4-2 Atlantic and a N&W Y6b Mallet.   The Atlantic is an early Lionel TMCC model and the Y6b a MTH RailKing ... since the curves on my layout won't accommodate a full scale Y6b.  

The old is updated new
