My wish list would consist of all the steam locos in the world. :D
Very nice pics guys, John, you'r 100% correct on the name of the Big Boy, but actually when they were building the Big Boy a worker working on one...
Here's a nifty idea, take out the old weight in the cars and replace them with lighter weights but not too light as to cause derailment. I was...
Then I challenge those who own and operate the Marklin Big Boys, thsoe suckers boilers are cast iron and weigh a heckuva lot then those Benny's....
Yeah but here's a sneaky plan I have, add more weight to the Big Boy and leave the rubber "boots" on. So just ponder this tought, if the Big Boy...
Benny, I'm pretty sure that the Big Boy would win out, don't forget it's a strong loco with a powerful punch. Unless you own a Allghany 2-6-6-6,...
Watash, those are some good looking locos if you ask me, especially that Big Boy in the background.
I wish I had 100 million bucks, I'd buy all the Big Boy locos and have all of them run again, not to mention build new track just for these locos....
"I can see!" said the blind man as he peed freely into the wind, "It's all coming back to me now!" LOL :D Time is a luxury, yes that is true!...
Nice picture of your N scale Big Boy Coronel! :D Cool Gregg, I hope you'll have some pictures of your favorites soon.
Alan, sounds like your layout turned into a ghost town. :D Are you sure your looking hard enough or asking around? I'm sure you'll find some help...
I thought I'd add a twist to the "Favorite Real Steam Locomotive" topic. What's your favorite model steam locomotive and why do you like it so...
Thanks Coronel!!! (Making that Taco Bell impression) "Your a real Coronel, right?" :D
Very cool engines guys! I bet those trains run well enough to haul long freight.
Ok John, can't wait to see em on the forum. :D Anyone else like to share their pics? BTW Nug, that's a nice pic of your SD70, nice paint scheme...
Good people of the Model Railroad world, lend me your ears, errr eyes (just don't throw your ears or eyes) :D . Show us your train pics along...
Origianlly posted by: Watash --------------------------------------------- Will, that is exactly what I did. When the first of their articulateds...
Hey Fitz, if I was the restorer of that 4018 I'd make that sucker run. God gave us brains to destroy and rebuild, I'd say lets do the restoration...
With hatch, or without a hatch? That is the question! Here's my thought, why not have access hatches built into the layout? You can have your...
Thanks for that info Pooh, these steam locos deserve to be on the rails, kinda like that one Challenger that still runs today for excursion.
