Great start, The black and yellow go very well together Keith
Smoke that is a VERY well weathered Popsicle car, very nice

11am here and we just got back from some railfanning,
first is Pacific 71000 en route to collect a 13 coach train further up the line

and the more normal form of transit

Then a quick dash 6 miles to another line for another Pacific 6201 and a green comuter train

No way we could get to Manchester to see another steam hauled fan trip, maybe tonight i'll see it

 

[BIG DOG]

awesome pics steve! I need to ask a question though,
Are the steam locos "working" ie: part of everyday life OR are they more for tourists attractions such as "dinner train" ?

Big dog the trains are working trains, I.E. they earn there keep from main line hire, most work steam specials, others work as part of the normal summer timetable like in parts of Scotland, the diesel is substituted for steam. The steam loco i went on a week or so back did a ballast train from a quarry, what it was made for in the first place. have a look at the link at the bottom of this page "steam hauled trains in the UK" and you will see just how many there are

Josh look's like you are going to be busy
Josthat's a fine layout, nothing wrong with a modular layout.
Kieth the pick up truck's spot on, and a nice weathered excavator

engine 9022...what is the manufacturer?

 

[MilesWestern]

That's an SD50F "Taper Draper" built by EMD in the late 1970's-Early 1980's. They're unique to canadian roads. The design concept was a cowl unit with rearward visibility. The cowl unit design was favored by canadian crews as a warm way to maintain the engine in winter.

No, its not. SD50F's & SD60F's were CN units.

Thats an EMD SD40-2F, sometimes also referred to as an SD40F-2.
