Front End Friday

[Colorado Midland Modeler]

Is this what the K37 was build out of?

No, but very similar. The 1160 is a C48 class 2-8-0, and the K37s were built from the similar but older C41 class 2-8-0s. Unfortunately, no C48s survive.

Did TrucTrain55 break the front end friday thread? What happened? Don't delete old threads, it makes the search not work and other issues.

Some people seem to not be able to handle being corrected when they do something they shouldn't.

What is a streamlined A4 doing in the junk yard ?

What is a streamlined A4 doing in the junk yard ?

People say that when they see it.

It is a model of streamlined Class B17 4.6.0 2870 'City of London'. Only two of the class were streamlined for the East Anglian service. One was saved and is operational; the other was cut up before it could be preserved.

Here’s a tribute to my old F40PH. My DCC controller is off to the manufacturer for warranty work, so I switched the power district back to DC and gave the old gal a run. Poor thing is showing her age but keeps running - like her Amtrak namesakes did. Here’s to the F40!

BTW, this loco is a Bachmann shell on a modified Athearn blue box GP38 chassis. I added diode constant lighting, separate grabs and railings, and painted it for my commuter agency. It bears the name of my late father in law, a lifelong LIRR employee.

Another slow get away day from the "City od Brotherly Love" and i took another opportunity to try to get the shot of "Reptile":

New "Avelia" trainset, one of probably six now in Philly, is awaiting for service.

It's a shame this lovely locomotive can't go as fast as it looks running on the poor trackage in our country!

Unfortunately half of the money dedicated to string new constant tension catenary across New Jersey "disappeared" somewhere on the way before it was used for the materials and stringing the wires. My guess is, it went to the greedy politicians and state heads. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Reminds me of the Swiss ETR-610. Might even be the same builder.
