Welcome, once again, to STEAMday Sunday, where we begin every Sunday, early in the morning, sharing photos, videos and comments about steam locomotives of all kinds.
What we also do is refrain from violating copyright laws and the Forum Terms of Service (TOS). All you need to do is post only photos and videos you have taken (what I do), or those taken by others in which you have their express written permission allowing you to post them. If you violate these rules, you will lose the privileges of Forum participation and be banned from the Forum.
To be crystal clear, if you violate the OGR Forum TOS, you will, metaphorically, be put in OGR Forum Jail, and likely, metaphorically, get the OGR Forum death penalty.
Now, let the STEAMday Sunday Forum fun begin.
My preference these days is almost always to run a modern locomotive with speed control like MTH PS2 or PS3 using DCS, or a Legacy or LC+ or LC+2.0 using the LC Universal Remote or Dedicated Remote.
However, occasionally, I enjoy running a Postwar locomotive. When I am in such a Postwar mood, I often choose to run my best, which is the Lionel 773 Hudson (1964 or 1965 model).
This video shows it rolling down the line at a good clip hauling Pullman Green NY Central Madison Heavyweight passenger cars:
And, here it is circling my Popsicle Stick Yankee Stadium pulling the same passenger cars:
IMO, this steamer is one smooth running Postwar beauty.
Incidentally, the above videos show it with a Williams NY Central tender that has, IMO, a nice appearance and nicer sounds than the typical Postwar tender whistle, though that whistle can have its own charm.
Now, let's build up a head of steam, post your own photos and videos of the steamers you are in the mood to share here, in full compliance with the Forum TOS, and tell us a little about those steamers.
