show them off,
Have to be my Y6 b PCM steamer!
Pulls like a PO ed mule (no traction tires needed)
Has well over 800 hours by now.
Next would be this.
All so a PCM, this one is a UP Big Boy.
The Y6 b is by far the better engine! But I will not sell the Big Boy short, while it is working that is! [:-^]
Brass HO scale Pacemaker caboose. Hope to put it on ebay in the near future. Cannot do MRRing anymore. Never has a chance to blacken the sides of the wheels or do any weathering. Looked great behind a 30 car Pacemaker freight.

BLI Paragon J1, a Texas type used by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Even though I have a small collection of articulated locomotives which I love, this one twin-cylinder beast had just short of the pulling power of a Union Pacific Challenger 4-6-6-4. It also happens to be a very nice looking, highly detailed, and smooth model.

Ok,
A little touch of stainless steel [;)]
My pride and joy? Structrures: My N scale model of a Lionel layout in an old barn…
United Farm Workers Nickpickers Union Hall Local #257. Hopefully has everything a nitpicked would ask for:
Not yet completed but already a pride and joy- my shoreshore pier nightclub.
Alexander Scale Models NYC Freight house: Interior details (i.e. flooring, sliding door, walls, trim) and exterior lights added
Suncoast Models Coaling tower: Working lights added
Walthers NYC SW1 (minus railing): Converted to DCC and added rear LED headlight.

there’s alot of great stuff in here, come on everybody don’t be shy. show it off [Y]!
Two categories; first this locomotive I rescued from someone else’s junk bin. Completely rebuilt and refurbished.
Structure; in O-scale. Completely scratchbuilt, based on a Colorado prototype.
some of the lighting in these photos, I had to do a double take.
I’d say that my pride and joy(s) have to be my big, older brass steamers.
Like my 2-8-8-2’s:
My VERY old 2-8-8-4’s:
My 4-6-6-4’s:
My Cab-Forward 4-8-8-2’s:
And a curve-straightening 4-10-2:
Some of these babies are pushing 50 years old, but with ‘tinkering’ and a lot of TLC, they’ve proven not only reliable, but almost indestructable.

I have posted this before, but it shows a lot of what’s on the layout. What’s my pride and joy? Well it depends on my mood.[(-D]

more amazing stuff!
I miss when the function of adding a picture was as simple as posting it directly to here. I do not have an interest to set up a picture site. I just would upload it here to show one time.
Latest couple videos of my layout.

I sent you a PM about that. You may find it of interest.
My pride and joy.
You did not say i t had to be a loco, train, or rolling stock, and unfortunately I don’t have any photos of my turnouts so this will have to do…
No ties were lost in the connecting of these two pieces of flex track. It would be more a joy if one could not see that solder on the outside of the one rail.
touche, I didn’t. more good work.
how do ya’ll post pictures on here?
