This is a very interesting thread. From the perspective of a college student, I don't go around flaunting it, but pretty much anyone that is friends with the people in my "group" of friends knows we are all railfans/model railroaders. Throughout high school and even college, I have found certain...

Nice pics everyone!! I finally have trains running. Here are a few pics... - Power ready at Greenville, PA. - BLE 877S crossing XN interlocking as EL 3672 waits on. - BLE 866S runs light power past Calvin Yard in Butler, PA. - BLE 878N passes the Butler Transfer job (BLE 867)...

First off, let me state I am a general Transtar fan. (includes B&LE, DM&IR, EJ&E, BS, URR, etc..) 862 wasn't even built as a true DM&IR unit anyway. It was originally B&LE 862, only to be sent to the DMIR in the early 90's and then to be sent BACK to the B&LE in 1999. (5 years before CN was...

I'll second that! My favorite product from EMD. There is nothing quite like seeing and hearing 4 of these in notch 8 with an ore train.. Cheers, -Bob

You know that thing has been the biggest pain in my arse since I bought it! Since I am modeling the "modern" era and they don't use the roundhouse for anything these days it's only on the layout for reason: The thing is the most well known building that is at the B&LE shops to this day. (the...

Well, it just happens that a few days ago I took all my Bessemer & Lake Erie road power out to see if it would all fit in my proposed ready tracks plan. They all fit, now I just gotta tear all that crap track up and put good track in properly... SD38AC 866 SD38-2 878 and SD40T-3 909...

Here are some photos of two Bessemer SD38-2s (Kato) and a SD18 (Atlas modified SD24) that a friend painted and detailed for me a few months ago running at another friend's B&LE layout during an operating session earlier today. - My 3 units (SD38-2s 877 and 878 with SD18 854) slamming...

Is that a Bessemer SD9 I see in there? I myself am 16. Prolly about 25 or so locomotives that are on "higher end" of detail. (Not model power, standard life-like, etc.) Here are some crappy pics as I am in a "transformation" phase of the layout right now. I think it's pretty obvious what the...

I chose "Other", I run Erie Lackawanna and Bessemer & Lake Erie, as well as some PRR and Conrail.

Took some final pics of the layout before it gets moved to another room: Railroads include the Bessemer & Lake Erie, Erie Lackawanna, and PRR. B&LE SD38-2 210 at XN Interlocking- BLE-EL Interchange EL at XN 6707 and a B&LE SD9 at XN B&LE AS616 407 switches Shenango Yard B&LE...

This is NOT a tour, as the layout isnt done yet. Just a few pics I took that I thought I would share. Sorry for some of them being a little blurry. http://members.tripod.com/superbird_mm2/blemstshooclub/id3.html

The layout is a joint effort between my dad and I. The railroad we model mostly is the Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad located in Western Pennsylvania, with operations in and around Greenville, PA. However he has a lot PRR and I have some CR stuff too. Why did I pick the B&LE? Very simple, I grew...
