Time Marches on…
The last request of February was “anything goes” and we will start March off in the same manner.
Here’s the New York Central gas-electric M-10 on its daily run:

More of your favorites, please.
This was the first picture took with my 10mm fixed length lens that stopped all the way down to f32. I was amazed at how deep the depth of field was.

One of my favorite scenes. Passengers entering or leaving Bedford Falls would have this view out the window.

Bridge #4 of eight is the favorite. Not only for being partial to Pratt’s, but it presented a problem demanding a solution.
Perhaps in a perfect world it would have been built on piers, but it had to straddle two lines below.
Thanks for kicking off March’s “Show Me” Ed[:)]
More favorites please.

Trucks at the intermodel yard.

Please show me a photo that has not been posted before.
This has never been posted before.
The gp20 is done. Very happy with how well its running.
Show me a metal (not a plastic shell) locomotive next
The Broadway Limited E6 has a die-cast boiler and tender:

More metal die-cast models, please.
And the E6 sure is a handsome steamer at that.
This die-cast model was made by a short lived company, from 1967-73.
Aurora Postage Stamp, heavyweight depressed center flat cars. The lot of six are of my favorites and are not cheap to find. Some of them have the patina of real rust on the edges that look quite good. They came with Rapido couplers and were converted with MTL conversion kits, not designated for the car.
Quite tedious as they needed .015 shims cut for them to be aligned in the metal housings correctly, to cure the slop so they would work properly.
More metal die-cast models please.

The Oriental Models Powerhouse series locomotives had cast metal boilers.

More Black Steamers please.

I have lots of black steamers.
Here’s a 1980s Rivarossi rendition of UP’s 8444, complete with a coal tender and pizza cutter flanges.
An even older (60+ years) camelback.
One of my most recent additions, a Mikado lettered for my home road.
More basic black steamers please.
Here is a couple.
Please show me a late 1800s or early 1900s tank car.
A Roundhouse “Old-Timer”:
More 1800 late or 1900 early rolling stock, please.
Here is some wild west era rolling stock
And here is a wild west era passenger train from the Virginia and Truckee. For those who don’t know, that’s Virginia City Nevada, and Truckee River (Reno).
Please show me old fashion trains, cars or locomotives. The older the better.
An American Style 4-4-0, the 1800s all in action.

The above scene is featured on one of the display layouts in the railroad museum in Ogden, Utah.
