Good morning, fellow steam fans!  Arnold, I never get tired of seeing your Yankee Stadium!  It’s the highlight of your fine layout for me.

On the Steam Crazy Lines, MTH Western Maryland 2-10-0 Russian Decapod no. 1108 is taking on coal and water for the day’s run.  She’s seen later hauling coal over the mountain near Parsons, WV.

Thanks Arnold for getting the steam up this morning.
I have a LIONEL Legacy 2231180 O PENNSYLVANIA #6510 -  2-10-4; going head to head through town witH LIONEL Kughn era 6-8406 NYC HUDSON 4-6-4 #783

Boston & Maine #617 is an MTH Railking model (30-1184-1) of a USRA 0-8-0 steam switcher. The model was delivered in 2001 with PS2 at MSRP $399.95.

#617 was one of twenty-two Class H-2-a 0-8-0 switchers built for the B&M by Alco Schenectady in 1922. It was sold to the Maine Central Railroad in 1946.

The engine ran on the O-72 outer loop and O-36 inner loop of my 12’-by-8’ layout with three boxcars and a B&M caboose. The first video shows the train running southbound on the O-72 loop at the layout’s southeast curve. The second video shows the train entering the narrow cut between the low hills on the O-36 loop.
