I started videoing my run of EBT #12 and found it was 12 noon; time for the noon Lunch Whistle at the Tuckahoe Steam & Gas show. Thought you’d like to hear it, and the train didn’t look too bad.

All dirtied up, and with a crooked number plate, just the way a working gal should look. Real nice.

The wife is still complaining about me dirtying those $$$ engines.

Pete, yea my mom is the same way. But they are my toys, and I will play with them however I like. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

Jerry shared his video of our trains. Note my business car being dropped on the fly from the end of my train !!

Very handsome train Pete! I agree no white tires and plenty of coal dust is how they look best. You can’t blame your business car for just following the railroad protocol it was used to all those years. Although I’m not sure if 20 was ever switched on the fly that often, at least not with dignitaries in side!

I’m really looking forward to building some coaches for my roster, but they will have to come after the Iron Horse Engraving caboose I have, and the 2 box car kits of Bob’s that I picked up at the D&B. If only I could purchase more modeling time…

Thanks for sharing, Definitely a fun coincidence with the whistle.

Randy! No white tyres?! Oh my. If the tyres aren’t dirty white, then how do you know its dirty enough?

Joe, thanks for the info. I’ll try to remember!
