ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
This just happens to be either Plus series, or Spectrum, with nice wheels and running mechanism;
As a bonus, it's numbered 611
Asking for a friend.
The only one in existence:
Everything did not go according to the plan here
And the model can be run in different timeframes and 'still correct'.
Number 2 is questionable. According to my collection, it is "Eleanor Rigby", although I think that I read somewhere that it was "Hey Jude". Of course a lot of covers of all three were done by groups that were so obscure that they were unknown, or were recorded by European groups who never released a record or appeared in North America.
Then there were artists like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and The Ventures that did all three to my recollection. But remembering all of the 60's is no longer easy for me.
Most covered Beatles song? That is a tough question and could be a changing answer as they are still covering the Beatles.
I saw Lionel's version in 1957, running on a display layout next to a large set pulled by a NW-2 lettered for Seaboard. had a choice, opted for the NW-2 set...Something I have regretted in later years.
My favorite, post WW2 steam loco was the Reading Company's T-1 4-8-4. At least four are preserved, and at least one is still running.

Good morning all. A bright, sunny day with the temperature hovering above zero C.
Louis. Will listen to Aerosmith later. At present listening to Chuck Berry whilst making sandwiches etc. for younger granddaughter's 'birthday party'.
Weeks go by when we see all the family together. Today is 'full house'.

Another item i located on the show yesterday was this Bachmann J class without a tender. The man at the stand just put bunch of boxes together with locomotives and was selling whole lots for $50. The locomotive was without a tender...which i just happened to have in my collection. I asked just for that one locomotive out of the box and payed $5, no kidding. Now i have a J class:

That gives "the runover shot" a new meaning.Everything did not go according to the plan here
Nice catch for you as well. A little history. 611 was in a rather bad accident and was put through extensive repairs to get her roadworthy again. As a consequence, when the J class was being retired, she was just in too good of a shape to be set on the deadline, so she was preserved. Lucky us!Everything did not go according to the plan here

Good morning ALL!!!
Thanks for getting the door Bill!
Flo, could I please have the "Claims Adjuster Special"?
It's item #53 on the breakfast menu.
3 scrambled eggs, spicey ground pork sausage, broken hash browns and dry white toast.
Served in a bowl with a side of sausage gravy and crumpled biscuits.
Says jam for the toast is available but no option for choosing which flavor.
Yes. I'll accept what fate delivers and see you in the corner booth, by the window.
Oh, and a large coffee too.

Back in 1951, Bulletin Orders did not exist. The restrictions being "long term" were additions to the time table special instructions....the infamous paste over stickers the company used to provide. Short term restrictions were by train order. Since the fly by and bridge construction were "long term", there would be a general order to provide for the restrictions. It occurred to me that coming east in the morning the engineer would have had to navigate the same construction, on the Eastward side, perhaps no fly by, but still a speed restriction. He had to be pre occupied. Interesting, that the fireman was also preoccupied, (the K4s were stoker equipped, so the likelihood that he was shoveling coal was not there).

I would say that #1 is probably "Yesterday". I saw The Smother's Brothers do it on TV just a few months after it was released on Ed Sullivan or some similar show. My FIL had it on a Willie Nelson record that was released about a year later, although I didn't hear his copy until 1971 when my soon-to-be wife played it for me.

What, me worry?
Morning all,
Had an overnight guest, the 10 year old granddaughter. We're trying to figure out what's going on as her dad called during his weekend. Yes her mom knows she's here and we're taking her back to mom later. The former son-in-law has enough stuff happening, there's no way we'd take her back if we can avoid it. Already been out to get the donuts and she's enjoying them. She did get to see her cousins for a bit last evening.
Currently 40° and clear, going for 75° later.

I visited the shops several times when 611 was undergoing its current rebuild, and you can still see the scar on the boiler when everything is removed.

Do you have this one? I must admit although I like Godhead's version, the original is the best I've heard.
Most covered Beatles song? That is a tough question and could be a changing answer as they are still covering the Beatles.

If you are able to, a unmodified Plan F has No deductible. which may be reflected in the premium. It's nice when you don't have to pay anything.
Wasn't Claytor at the throttle when the "accident" occurred?

You got the top 2 songs Willie but in reverse order. Yesterday was the most covered song of all time and # 2. Hey Jude was # 1. Let It Be # 3 and 4 was Eleanor Rigby. The video said the Beatles are the #1 song writers of all time. Is there anyone better than Willie's knowledge of music.

If you are like me there will always be regret. Unless I buy them both.

Boris I didn't know this, At the time I hired out they were changing all the platforms from low to high. New bulletin orders every day. Single tracking Train orders every day. Then after that they started electrifying the Harlem Division. A consent stream of orders every day. A 75 year old engineer forgot about the single tracking order at Chappaqua NY ran through the 30 mph crossover derailing the engine and 4 cars with rails coming up through the car floors.
