Blasts from the past, taken on the old OPSME layout in 1976. These are also posted on a different thread.
The 2-8-8-2 is a quazi-Y3, kitsmahed out of an AHM Y6b. Tender is a hacked up AHM Berkshire tender. It's got the wrong number for a Santa Fe Y3, I misunderstood what I was reading about SF's Y3's at the time. I corrected that oversight when I eventually picked up a brass NWSL Y3 tender.
The F7's are not quite what they appear to be either. They're Globe (Irv Athearn's original F7's) shells mounted on Athearn drives.
And the Berkshire takes it's cue from the SP.

Chessie:
I'm still without my primary computer on which my HO pics n' stuff reside. Been too lazy to try to take some current ones. Hopefully, I'll be back up on the primary computer by the end of next week.
Rusty:
Cool vintage pic. Model Railroading sure has changed since those simpler times, much of it for the better, some of it, not so much.
I found a picture! Was somehow on this old computer. Anyway, I can post a pic!
Scale: HO
Caption:
"The 'haves' meet the 'have nots' near 12th St. Yard in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City. The 'haves', represented by the engine and crew aboard the well-maintained SW7 #2404, talk to the 'have nots' aboard the not-quite-as-well-maintained KC&G NW2 #136. Regardless of the difference in fortunes between the two rail lines, the camaraderie between those in the industry remains rich as the new young engineer on the ATSF yard goat discusses what might transpire in the upcoming baseball season for the KC Athletics with fellow engineer 'Old Head' Jamison, standing on the deck of the tired looking KC&G NW2, as Conductor 'Big Dog' Anderson listens with amusment from the ground."
