Awesome, a neat job at a transfer table!

Hi MTI,

Thanks, originally the table came with a short piece of track, I just extended it with Gargraves track to cover the entire lenght of the engine house

No steamers in this picture. Oh well!
Got any? Or a GG1 or a classic green Burlington Northern?

Hi CJ,

Yes I have steamers, they're in the engine house so you can't see them, the engine house has 22 tracks, each track holds 3 locos. I don't have a GG1 or a classic BN, however I do have ATSF and BNSF locos in the red & silver warbonnet paint and in the heritage phase 1 paint scheme of the GN the ATSF are 2 B40-8 and the BNSF are 2 GP38's both duel motors and pull like hell, usally 25-35 cars behind them. The B40-8's are by MTH & the GP38's are by Williams Electric Trains. I also have 2 other small engine houses with steamers inside in West yard, along with intermodel and freight cars, I need more trains !! :>

I ask because this pic looks like you have more diesels than steamers.
You do need more trains! Namely a GG1 and a classic BN! :)

Hi CJ,
Yeah I do have more diesels than steamers, yes I do need more trains :) If I got a GG1 I would have to string up cantanary to make it look & run correctly (And they're expensive) Also I model the Midwest not the East coast where GG1's ran. The classic BN Green I didn't get due too low production output, but I do have a Red & Gray Burlington (CB&Q) SD45 with sound and 2 red & gray Burlington (CB&Q) GP38's, each duel motored. They look and run great together, both by Williams.

Wowsers! Manual indexing on that?

Actually no, I line it up visually, most of the time I get it right HEH :)

Dang! any particular road/era you like especially?

My favorite road was always the NYC, along with Pennsy and Conrail. The concept of my RR is that the board of directors ( Me as the CEO as well as all the other EO positions) :) created the CA&P (Chicago Atlantic & Pacific) RR from the remants of the PC debacle, after the NYC & Pennsy merged, (What a mistake that was!) :( We took over CR trackage and allowed ATSF, CSX, BNSF, GT (CN), SP, C&NW and other lines trackage rights over our lines to create a through East to West coast service, through the Chicago area. (This happend due to the road names Lionel, MTH, K Line & Williams modeled after) UP & NS weren't interested, since they had their own lines to run on NS on the Wabash & UP on the GM&O (C&A). Boy I fantisize a lot don't I HEH HEH :). Anyways it allows for a wide diversity of RR's past & present to run on my pike.

Heh. A buddy and me came up with the "Interstate Electric Railway" concept, set in the late '30s, with a similar scenario, except that it's a coast to coast interurban line with Electroliners running from shore to shore...

Hi,

That's a wonderful concept, wish they could of done it in real life, would of saved alot of fuel and lower emmisions! :) Also talk about high speed electric service. I could see Electroliner coaches, sleepers, baggage/mail, dinners & observation cars on the long distance trains. Plus freight motors as well.

Exactly.

We wound up doing imaginary old time radio scripts sponsored by "Interstate Public Service"...
