Must have been a hot day there Sean the engineers have the roof hatches open. I really like the looks of the extra wood on the end beams of ole #5.
Cool Pix.
So today I made up a trailer train!

This should hold me for a while!
Those are great looking B&M locomotives. I really like the faded blue on the switchers. I live in B&M country and I saw these locomotive all the time. Great job!

Nice pictures Sean!
Funny thing…your #1736 looks a lot like a #1736 I used to run on my layout about 10 years ago!

Haha nice pictures guys. Richard love the shot with the string of tankers (last photo)
Wow…everybody’s RR’s are looking so good!

Thank you but I have to say the railroad is not mine, it belongs to a friend the trains are mine.

Got about 4 hours play time in today, What a great day to run trains. Partly sunny, mid 70’s but did get a bit of a sun burn.

Great pics guys!
Here’s a pic from the Woodland Railway operating day ( see the Operations Forum for more.) The Presidents private car passes the Castle.

Did someone say they want steam? Here’s #12 on the coal drag at Tuckahoe:

And after the run #12 cools down. The blowdown on this loco is ideal fo releasing boiler pressure, so you get some nice atmospheric shots,

Yesterday was a great Day to run some Trains here in NY, mid 70’s and a little over cast
but really nice running weather. I finally had some time to get 2 of my repainted GP-40s up
and Running with QSI and Kadees, They ran great and looked awesome. I still have 3 more to
Finish but enjoyed running these 2 so far, also took some video, I will post later.

I was wondering when you were going to notice! I have a little work to do on her but she’s doing grand!
I was told it was yours!
Good Stuff guys!

I agree Shawn. I like diesel and they are actually slowly turning in more run time on my RR than my steamers do but I did catch a nice shot of the 2-6-6-2 taking on water at the new tank this morning.
