Jarrell's Show Me Something for April 2026

I’ve done a lot but this Marx 999 in State Railways of Thailand colors might win for most unusual locomotive paint scheme I’ve done. If not for the lettering on the tender you might think it’s an Irish locomotive. :wink::ireland::shamrock:. Which is fine because I’m Irish.

Let’s keep going with paint jobs please :folded_hands:.

“Largest”? Well all Standard Gauge is large so here’s a boxcar I restored.

My longest cars are the 3 Williams heavyweight New York Central cars I run with my Hudson, which is also the longest locomotive in my collection.
