I’m jumping the gun a bit to get us started on this edition of STEAMday Sunday. This is the place to share photos, videos and information about steam locomotives of all kinds.

When you post photos and videos, please make sure to post only those you have taken (which I always do) or those in which you have obtained the written permission of the owner to post, and otherwise comply with the Forum Terms of Service,

The photos and video below shows my best O Gauge steam locomotive: a Lionel Legacy New York Central 10 wheeler. It’s hauling a short train of Lionel New York Central passenger cars like it did in the first half of the 20th Century on the Putnam Division of the New York Central (the Put). Here, it’s chugging around my Popsicle Stick Yankee Stadium:

Notice the whistle steam in the above video, one of the neatest features of most, if not all, Legacy steamers.

Come, join the fun and show us your favorite steamers and tell us about them.

Photos and videos show my Boston & Maine 2-8-0 Consolidation #2403 pulling a freight cars and B&M caboose #104647 on my 12’-by-8’ layout. The locomotive is a Weaver die-cast model (1809LP) of a Baldwin Consolidation. Atlas O recently announced a production run of these engines using the tooling developed by Weaver. The models will have PS3 electronics and are scheduled for delivery later this year.

B&M #2403 was the last 2-8-0 to be retired by the B&M. It remained in passenger service around Boston until at least September 1954 and was scrapped in June 1955.
