My First Layout

Trailers on Flat Cars, one of my favorite trains!

Finally, my favorite photo; my grandson operating the train. I previously posted this photo in this thread, but forgive me, I love it!

These photos were taken over ten years ago, we moved in 2017. I now have an entire attic for my trains. I still have not got a permanent layout up and running. My health and life keep getting in the way.

I live in the Dundalk/Eastpoint (Harbor view) area, and I also like the Chessie Systeme and CXS locomotives.
But my favorite Locomotive that I have seen is the Spirit of 1776. I saw those locomotives at the Sparrows Point steel mills back in 70s.
They were so bright and colorful. I can remember driving back there (back in the day) just to see them again.

That makes us neighbors! I've lived in Dundalk for the last 20 years.

Does this look familiar?

Yes that does look familiar,...... but I vividly remember the locomotive that had the vertically strips, like this one.

I'm sorry I forgot to reply sooner.

I don't think that exact scheme was used on a real-world locomotive. I love that Tyco version, it was in my first train set.

Here are a three that were close
