I was able to bring down my newly rebuilt Key Alco FA1/FB1 to the club for some laps. Here, they are passing by the Bethlehem Steel plant. Nice locomotives, took some time to rebuild, and still need a little work, but im happy with them.

Notch 8, dont be late!
I was able to bring down the PA's to the club tonight for their shakedown run. Quiet, smooth, powerful, everything you could ask for in a locomotive, all while pulling a nice sized passenger train.

The locomotive from my last post is now back together and ready for service, now with an added B unit!
Can't wait to bring them to the club for their test/shake down run.

The newest locomotive project is underway!! Always like to fully tear down a locomotive to give it a full service. Bonus points if anyone can guess the locomotive!

E units on freight?!? It's more common than you think! Figured I give these newly rebuilt E units a true break in run, pulling 40+ club cars that ride like the brakes are on.
They performed fantastic and are ready for service!

What a project this BLI L1 ended up being. The previous owner decided to replace the bell and spilled superglue all over the boiler. I was able to sand it off and give it a small repaint. Then the gearbox chipped a tooth, sometimes you can't win with trains.

Decided to have a chill day at the train club and run a local. It's always nice going at a slower pace once in a while.

The 1995 Volvo 850, my first car I bought for under $1000 and drove it for years. It was a tank of a car, and I wish I still had it.

Bought down my newly finished Proto 2K GP9's to the train club for their shake down run. They make easy work of this 50+ car manifest, and they didn't break. Amazing!

The latest model to leave the work bench and hit the mainline, a brass A-B F7 set from Oriental Limited. All they needed was a cleanup , new gears, and some DCC. Now they are ready to put some hours at the club.

About time, I dust off these models and take them for a run. Another locomotive from the electric collection, the PRR DD1, they're always a joy to run.

I think it's time to start the New Year off right with my favorite Diesel Locomotive, the Baldwin RF-16. I just love the style, especially with the train phone.

Big Liz just doesn't care. Even if you back a whole train into it, Big Liz will just keep going unfazed. Club open house always goes so smooth, lol.

Easily one of my favorite freight cars to collect, the woodside billboard reefer. They always make for a colorful train.

Another one of my favorites from the brass collection. A HO scale NJCB PRR L5, one of the last jack shafts on the PRR. After a little tune up, it's a nice real nice runner.
