It’s that time again, when we all can revel in steam - on - (drum roll please) -STEAMday Sunday.
And, I wish you all, as declared on the Seinfeld show by the tall funny guy whose name escapes me at the moment: a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Festivus for the Rest of Us!
Join me as we travel back in time to 1927. Train travel by steam was very popular then and Babe Ruth often took the train. A reporter asked the Sultan of Swat why he was making more money than the President of the United States in 1927 and the Babe replied: I had a better year than the President. That was so true because the Babe hit 60 homers that year and his team dominated Major League Baseball throughout the season with a .714 winning percentage and winning the World Series.
Let’s join the Babe on the NY Central passenger train to the House he Built in the photos and videos below consisting of a NY Central Mohawk steamer and Madison Heavyweight passenger cars:
The model of the locomotive is an MTH PS2 NY Central Mohawk running on DCS and the model of the passenger cars are Lionel NY Central Pullman Green Madison Heavyweights.
Now, stoke up the fire, build up a head of steam and let’s see your steamer(s) rollin’ down the line.
When doing so, post only photos and videos you have taken or you have received written permission from the owner to post, and comply with the Forum Terms of Service. Arnold
