During the past 2 days, I have run almost all of my locomotives and motorized units at last 2 laps around my layout. I try to do this at least once per year because I find that locomotives need such an annual workout to stay in good operating condition.

One engine I rarely run is a Lionel postwar Pennsylvania turbine, probably a 2025 (it also might be the 2020 or 681 that I also have), shown in the video below:

As you can see, it has plenty of pep and I love the way it puffs rings of smoke.

Let's see what steamers you would like to share today, Please post only photos and videos you have taken, or those in which you have received the written permission of the owner to post, and fully comply with the Forum Terms of Service.

Long Island Rail Road B-6 0-6-0 steam switcher is an MTH Railking Imperial model (30-1710-1) delivered in 2017 with PS3 at MSRP $449.95. MTH Imperial steamers are upgraded Railking models with a real coal load, legible builder’s plate, engineer and fireman figures, and tender truck safety chains.

This good-looking, smooth-running MTH model represents a superheated B-6sb, of which 238 were built between 1916 and 1920. The engines weighed 180,300 pounds (tender not included), developed 36,140 pounds tractive effort, and had 56-inch driving wheels.

Photos and video show LIRR #170 on my 10’-by-5’ layout.
