A few photos from the B&O Museum at Christmas. 

 

Photo #1: BOMX 1200 Prepares to shove the "Mile One Express" down the first mile of commercial rail in the US. 

Photo #2: Former MARC passenger car, recently painted in B&O Passenger scheme. The car originally started life as a PRR sleeper then a PRR coach.

Photo #4: The Cab of #1200, after my always appreciated cab ride. 

Photo #5: B&O (former Chessie) GP7 #6405 on display. This locomotive is operational. 

Nice Dash 8. I have one too, but it is in Amtrak Paint scheme.

 

Here are some pictures:

First try at new picture post.

Geez, it's so easy now that I'm going to do it too!

 

The new Brawa O scale freight cars (2 rails only so far)...from The Nurnberg Toy Fair

 

Still my new favorite locomotive, I just wish it smoked better.

Sean I can see it in this picture, you were bit by the bug and that thing has festered where you are now a full fleged victim of O GAUGE TRAINS. By the way, there is no cure and that's a good thing. Does sis still enjoy the hobby?

Bob, your layout is one of my favorites!  When I shot this photo last year,  I was reminded of your video

 

 

I was doing some rail fanning on my layout.

Sorry about the  mine pix with no captions I'm just learning how to post I'll do better next time

Are those mining carts 0n30?  Bachman?  Very nice

No they are Grant line kits they are Koppel 4-wheel dump    I ordered the wrong wheel size I got 0n2 instead of 0n30 I think the boxes are the same size I just had to make new axles to fit the HO track

Checking out the new Forum. I used to use my Photobucket Account to post photos. This is just a test!!

For Christmas 2011 I received my first two O Scale (non-traditonal size) freight cars. Both are from MTH. A Santa Fe composite drop bottom gondola and a steel Horlacher's reefer. Both are very nice. I purchased two more MTH cars last weekend, an NYC double-sheathed boxcar and a P&LE (NYC) Ps-2 covered hopper.

I'm joining the lemmings. Yeah, never posted before. Enough just lurking about!

A photo from this past December of my new chief engineer:

Did somebody say SUPER HUDSON!!!!

Great Photos Everyone!  Love the way we can upload photos now!  Here's a couple, some of these are older photos...

 

 

Hands get dirty working in all that coal..

 

Looks like few are putting pics in the body of the text forcing the pics to be selected individually. I think you can put the pics in with text and it will be enlarged like they used to be. Look for the box at the bottom and check it to embed in the text.

I recognize that as a Hammond M series. I had an M3 that was converted to portable by Keyboard Hammond Service in Los Angeles 40 years ago. What model is this one?

 

Hand built locos running at my club.

Strange bedfellows...

My TRAXX F140 arrived today and I took it for a spin on my friend's layout before heading home. In these shots the unit is "sneaking" through 063 curves (only do this if the leading car's coupler can swivel though). One thing that might raise eyebrows "across the pond" is the inclusion of a very American bell sound. But you'll only hear it if you hit the bell button
