Keeping with the articulated theme. I had this N&W Y-3 for quite a few years then discovered that they sold some to the PRR back in the War years so I ‘Pennsyfied’ it into a PRR HH1:

My other articulated favorites are the B&O EM-1s which used to run through the town I live in, but before my time.

Hi, looks like we’re back! Christmas came early!
Here’s a N scale Bachmann 2-8-0 that i modified the tender from coal to oil. I also weathered and detailed the engine as well. It runs pretty good too.

Here are a couple of ancient Varney locomotives. The Pacific and Mike were built when I was in college in he 1950’s, the Consol around 2000. Both have extra detailing, but need lettering and a bit of paint touchup.

Proto 2000 0-6-0 switcher, weathered by a friend:
Proto 2000 0-8-0 switcher with a TCS WowSound decoder, weathered by the same friend:
BLI 2-8-2 Mikado, this one with original QSI decoder / sound. I have nine of these beasties, some with the original decoders and others with TCS WowSound. All but four have been renumbered.
Proto 2000 2-10-2 Santa Fe with original sound decoder. Biggest loco on the layout. Weathered by that same guy who did the switchers.
There are several Consolidations and Ten-Wheelers on the line also (various makes), plus a couple Pacifics, including this brass one I remotored and converted to DCC (again with TCS WowSound - they’re my go-to-decoders):
There are a couple more brass locos awaiting conversion to DCC.

Challenger 4-6-6-4, My favorite prototypical steam locomotive.
Union Pacifics Challenger was restored by the railroads retirees. She made a stop in Shakopee Minnesota on her first tour, seeing her with my brother. Standing next to that magnificent beast, you could swear she was alive and breathing. Quite a machine, quite a day to remember.

Hi Thomas
Yes it is. Its one of those DC/DCC with sound in both. I’ve heard if you get the sound disconnected in DC mode, it’ll come out of the hole and run at a creep smoother. Don’t know if that’s true or not.
