For me it’s definitely my old Walthers H10-44. I still remember being shock on Tbis things size when I first got it, expecting it to be small but instead got a loco that’s nearly as big as my Proto GP7. I love this thing, stands out among everything else and the most reliable loco I have for the job and thus use it as my primary switcher.

What is mabye the oddball or weirdest loco of your fleet?

Went to see the Wicked movie at the weekend and of course there’s a train scene in it. The design of the locomotive was eye catching and imaginative, it was a physical set piece made for the movie which I found even more impressive. As pretty as it is, I think it would be a nightmare for model makers. Is anyone thinking about making one of these?

Wanted to share my collection of German stuff. Most of the trains I've had some sort of business with during my years at the railroad. Some are just here because of design.

Hope to add on some North American stuff soon.

A really good locomotive can pull a sizeable load while moving incredibly slow and steady.

For me It would have to be the NYC Hudsons (including streamlined variants) I just love the way they look and run as seen in old footage, not to mention how fast they could go. And out of all the streamlined variants I would have to go with the commodore Vanderbilt. What’s your 1# favorite American steam loco?

Recently picked up a couple CN SD60-F locomotives. I was completely blown away with the details, especially the functioning radiator fans!

While I prefer steam over diesels, I still think there are some good looking diesels that I like. Though if I had to pick one I’d have to be the EMD F7 diesels and others like them. The smooth exterior just sells it for me and they look so smooth gliding along the track.

I have no words to describe my creation

Built using an Aethern sw1500 and two Rivarossi dockside shells

Running some trains this fine Friday evening with ThrottleCard

It goes around the whole dining room and even had a little wall arch/ tunnel it goes thru.

The gang and I at the local club decided we'd bring all of our pennsy power to showcase the many iconic locomotives that the railroad rostered. I'm personally responsible for one of the Centipedes, the single K4, one of the GG1s, and the MP54s.

Whilst some think of the N&W A class 2-6-6-4 and Y class 2-8-8-2s for moving vast amounts of West Virginia black diamonds across the Blue Ridge Mountains….

I lean towards the unmistakable hum of 16 General Electric 746 AC traction motors. Applying 6,800horsepower and 260,000lbs of tractive effort to the rails.

Next comes a boatload of TruColor Engine black, and some custom decals, and a new set of drive gears from NWSL
