A blast from the past!
Nice work.
I know you like watching them, but we had a great time switching the passenger train up at the Finger Lakes Live Steamers a few years ago. Roger Ciazza set up a great session where you had to switch various passenger cars as the specific passenger train arrived. It was really pretty cool as one person just ran the passenger trains around the layout and then the switching crew took charge when they arrived in the yard. Neat idea for operating passenger trains that I had never seen before or since.
Anyone have a G scale Viewliner but especially a baggage for sale ? Didn’t LGB make them …Wait LGB was out of business by the time the prototype came out. Piko maybe?
Back in the day in the hood
Still thinking about that
Nice video, Rooster. I couldn’t help but duck my head when the engine came under the bridge
Sounds like YOUR next project?
Thinking I might sell off some old stuff that I have been hoarding for years. But wondering if there is any interest?
No, keep it!!
Just make an addition to the house, right?
Just keep the four white lights down and pointed right
As one of the newer members here, when this thread bounced back to the top I started reading it. Of course many of the photos were gone and the links were out, there was still enough to see what Rooster was able to create! I have been a rail fan my whole life. Living in Pennsylvania, and right down the road from the Baldwin Locomotive works in Eddystone, I have seen a lot of the mighty PRR.
One quick story, must have been in the early 1960’s Pop and I drove my grandmother over one evening to catch the last commuter train on the Media local line for her ride back to the city, Philadelphia. Pop and I talking about trains after my grandmother got her commuter, we were about to leave we could hear another train approaching. Commuters were done for the evening so we waited to see what was getting much louder rolling in. There it was, the only time I saw a GG1 in service, up close and personal, pulling through a bunch of out of service commuters. What a massive engine!
Rooster you have modeled a great set of Amtrak equipment!
Not my video or my railroad but it is a video of about 1/4 of my Amtrash equipment. I’m glad you enjoyed it cause who the Hell models Amtrak these days anyway ?
The hobby must be dying off or is it ?
Wayne,
I did build a Conrail OCS theater car also back in the day in the hood …once again not my railroad or my video but the theater car on the end was one of my builds before 3D printing.
One of my clubs member is buying the Superliner series from a guy in Germany, while they are outrageously expensive that are really well built, I think he has 5 cars so far and wants at least 2 more only issue is that the P-42 from LGB is in their 1/whatever they feel like scale, and it’s a little taller than it should be
Don’t want one!
Besides they only run them up in the fancier states north of me.
