2-4-4-2 Steam Loco

[kgstakes]

2-4-4-2 Pulling into Barnesville Junction. This is from my second layout and the locomotive was my fist one I have DCC and sound installed in it. The decoder is a MRC decoder. It's ok but wish I had the person install it put a different decoder in it.

If I'm suppose to put videos of my railroad some place else, please tell me.
Thank you to all of you I really appreciate seeing the things you all do and thank you for allowing me to share my model railroad with you.

Here's a picture of a brass locomotive that was my dad's now mine. One is with the drivers in motion and the other sitting still. Some day I want to put sound in it as well (DCC). It has an old PFM Sound in it now.

That's an absolute beauty!

LOL Sometimes the details are in the BRASS!! They don't make them like that anymore.

Thought about painting it but I like it in brass. Oh does anyone know how to get it back to more or less "bright brass". It's pretty tarnished now.

I built this stagecoach for a guy in Reno Nevada for his outdoor layout. The coach is 1/8th scale.

LOL was a bit younger back then too.

Don't want to bore you all too much, one last set of pictures.

This is a HO scale log house I built that I always wanted to build full size. Still might some day.

Enjoy the pictures.

Is that New York Central?

NYC yes!!! Engine like that use to go through his home town and when he say a brass engine he bought it. I remember mother was none too happy when she found out how much he paid for it.

I just glad he kept it all these years and now it’s mine to run on my railroad. Be nice to have dcc and sound in it. Maybe I’ll have someone do that for me someday. With lights that would be great!!

New York Central H10, i saw a brass one painted and so tempting. But $300 is a little over my budget. They are quite rare though, since most rail fans only know about Hudsons, Niagaras and Mohawks.

After our move and I get things settled down a bit I’ll dig it out and take some real close up shots of it.

It has a scoop of the bottom of the tender to pick up water. Don’t see that detail on very many models. Back then or now.

Been awhile but I did take some close up pictures of my dad’s locomotive.

Couple of things I've been working on in the hobby room, organizing some tools and wood and then just a picture from the wood shop in to the hobby shop through the window.

Above looking from wood shop to hobby shop through window. Looks bigger than it actually is. Room is about a 9x10 Clean in the picture but shortly afterwards it wasn't but I do have a shop vac in the room that I try to clean up around the power tools when I'm done.

Above organizing some tools, clamps, carving tools, etc. some wood for scratch building etc. Built on a french cleat system.
