WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 10-7-16-??

Rio Grande Southern 'Goose' at Knott's Berry Farm. They have rebuilt her to look as it did 50 years ago....but is powered by a modern 4 cyl industrial clean burn diesel. She runs a week on 20 gal of fuel. 

Here's a Korber 6 stall RH just about complete, it will be shipped as two three stalls and once it reaches its  destination, it will be mated together.

I like that.

Have waited a long time to get one of these....a RailKing Mohawk in NYO&W livery.

I have loved these engines since they 1st appeared in the RailKing line in the late 90s, but never got around to getting one. Missed out on the O&W one when it was made around 2002-03.

One just came up on the Buy-Sell Forum for a spectacular price, and it is truly Mint!

I guess good things to do come to those who wait! I could not be happier!

Peter, I have a Rail King NYO&W Y2 Mountain with PS2, and it runs very well. Good luck with yours. I am planning to add some details to make the Rail King engine resemble the actual NYO&W engines like the No. 451 below. Most obvious is the pilot, and some of the equipment on the pilot deck.

I am not sure if you know this but there is a locomotive with a similar name, IORE, used in trains transporting iron ore (hence IORE) in Northern Sweden & Norway, above the Arctic Circle. They are the heaviest electric locomotive in Europe & is 1 of 2 models I still hold on to from my days in HO-Scale even though I have been in O-Scale for almost a decade.

These are just my opinion,

Thanks,

My railroad suffers from inadequate storage tracks. I need about 8 more 10 feet long storage sidings for passenger trains.

My railroad currently has 3 articulated brutes, a Y6b, a USRA 2-8-8-2 and a AC12 Cab Forward. Articulateds are the best tracking engines especially over switches.

Here is a Black and White 

Here is a video of my friend Ray's new Legacy SD38 engines running at the BDSME in Bethlehem PA.  They ran fine as you can see first time on the track. Great sound, smoke and look terrific.

If I'm correct about where you took this photo.  I haven't seen the 4-H Mainline with 3 tracks in five years. If this isn't my group then..

Great photos, Everyone!

Joe, I had to call special attention to this one.  My wife would love it too!!  You did a great job on it as well!!  What kind of ore is Eeyore hauling?

Ralph,

I certainly like your selection of road names represented! 

My latest acquisition.  A Weaver Cincinnatian on the seller's layout.

The crew eases down grade as their long run has come to an end.

I sprayed the ore load with stone fleck paint similar to these.

I had originally made this for a fellow member of River City 3 Railers. Recently, he returned it. We are extremely grateful. Currently it is residing on my layout at the entrance of Trogdon Yard.

Finally found some 1122 passenger and a red mail car to go with my American Flyer 1121 Engine. Need to find some side rods for the engine. 

These are a few shots of over six hours of HD video we shot the last week of our Sugar Train running in Maui. She still sits where you see in the last shot she stopped. Don

Happy weekend everyone!  Nice photos (as always) posted so far.  My contribution to this week's WPF thread is a few photos of my brand new CNJ plywood-sheathed caboose scratch-built by fellow Forum member "Brother Love" (Malcolm).   This is my second BL caboose as he built a D&H wood-sheathed model for me a couple years ago.

It will eventually make its way through the "shop" for a light weathering and maybe even some scale Kadee couplers...but for now anyway she's looking all shiny and new, assigned to work the CNJ local along with ALCo RSD4 #1601--which happens to be the namesake locomotive of my OGR Forum handle...

Nice video Don.  Did the FD provide the arches of water for effect, in celebration or in concern that any sparks may cause a fire?  The vegetation looked very lush so I would think it is not the latter.

Working on my video and found this still shot...had to post it.

Good to see you Rich....cool shot.

I mentioned these LRC TOFCs in another post and thought I would post pictures of them here.  Maybe LCCA will issue an Army one someday.

One of my other hobbies is amateur radio.  I contacted this group recently.

Nice pictures everyone. A lot of inspiration here. I gathered the fleet together on my in progress layout today. I think it's safe to say I won't be experiencing a motive power shortage any time soon! 

Halloween must be close. There was a ghost sighting in the old church yard last night. 

I just bought this MTH tank car 15 mins ago. I thought this is very sharp.

Jeff, 

You'll like it! I've got the same car (well, sort of. The tank is the only thing chrome, everything else is black). Came in a old, old MTH RTR starter set. The "chrome" has lost a bit of it's shine over the years but it is still a good looking car - keep those finger prints off!!!!

Last weekend the National Capital Trackers participated in Brunswick Railroad Days in Brunswick, MD. Once a large hub on the B&O, CSX still operates the large yard. We had a small layout in the basement of the heritage museum, one block from the CSX 4 track main and across the street from the pit beef BBQ stand. There were other railroads in HO, S, and G. The weather was so-so Saturday and very nice Sunday. About 1,600 people came through to see our display the entire weekend. Lots of vendors, food, crafts, activities and more. Lots of real trains to watch and ride. Excursion trains were operating both days from Brunswick down past Point of Rocks, down the Metropolitan Sub into Montgomery County, MD (home for me) to Buck Lodge (just a tad north of Germantown, MD) and about 20 miles north of Washington DC. This was the first time I had ridden the new cars being used on MARC commuter service. A MARC train was the excursion train. 6 brand spankin' new double-decker cars and 2 MP36 high speed diesel locos on the point. The cab car, if I'm not mistaken, was put in revenue service just a few weeks prior. In years past, the train was much, much longer but used single level equipment. 

The Brunswick Heritage Museum (where we were located) has a massive HO railroad depicting the B&O's Metropolitan Sub from Washington, through Montgomery County, MD to Harpers Ferry. Very well done. 

Thanks Matt!

As if I didn't have enough model train photos.......this weekend I've been playing around with making screen shot photos of past videos. Here's one I really like from last February at the Great Scale Train show, Timonium, MD. National Capital Trackers layout.

Great work, everyone!!!
