Awesome photos! Love those early slant nose E units.
Excellent, acptulsa! I should have known from the category that this thread is in. Duh, on me. Thank you.
Wow, what a find, acptulsa! Do you have more information about this photo? That's a nice Baldwin diesel in the lead. I can't make out any markings...
I was wondering the same thing..."Wait, have I circled around to the beginning of this great thread?" All good. Keep posting!
Great photo, r_i_straw! A friend of mine is kitbashing an AB6 in N Scale. It looks great, and now I may have to do one myself.
Outstanding! Now I have to go to the Hallmark store tomorrow, and maybe find a set. As for catenary, can't help you out there. :unsure:
Wow, nice photo, r_i_straw! That one reminds me of the scene in the movie East of Eden where they are loading up cars with lettuce and ice, and...
This is a great thread, and thanks to all who are sharing. I myself model in N Scale, and I have found the Life Like locomotives to be pretty good...
Absolutely gorgeous, r_i_straw!
That menu is a thing of beauty! Thank you for sharing. I am hungry now, just looking at it. Going back to your earlier post about business cards...
Nice photo, r_i_straw! Now, I have a dumb question, so please forgive my ignorance here. I grew up in the diesel era, and I understand how MU'ed...
Excellent! As The Tubes once sang, "She's a Beauty!" Seriously, though, I do have a weakness for the early slant nose passenger diesels.
Ah yes, those were the days. Is it wrong to say I kind of miss those F40PHs now? They were everywhere at one time. Kind of like when I was growing...
LOVE those Erie Builts! Nice photo.
OOF. Slack action for sure, would have played a part in the ride. Reminds me of a photo I saw a while back of CGW coaches being pulled behind a...
Absolutely concur. I think it's the slant nose of the early Es that does it. Same, for me, in terms of the Alco DL-109s. Just sharp.
Hopefully the museum gets them running under their own power again. I never saw either unit in service, nor in their subsequent museum home in...
Lookin' GOOD!!! Although I model the Rock Island in the early 1950s, I do also love the "Chicago Red" scheme. That's the Peoria Rocket in the...
Yes indeed. Chicago commuter service in later years, though I do have a photo (June, 1986 Trains Magazine, perhaps?) of a BL2 in a consist of F...
I LOVE it, r_i_straw! I have never seen this brochure. Nice item in your collection, for certain.
