Recently picked up this MTH AS-616 with Proto 1, it was untested, and to my surprise as I put it on the layout (after replacing the BCR inside) it started smoking like a champ. They don’t make smoke unit like they used to!
Another update on my Postwar inspired layout. This time I put some roads down, it's not perfect, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Used some black foam boards and cut them to shape. Also got some new Plasticville kits, which finally drove me to put some roads down. Feel free to leave some tips and recommendations. (Train running is a 2151WS)
I decided and change up my Postwar inspired 4ft by 8ft layout. So here is a short 50 second video of running a 2333 F3 diesel around. Feel free to suggest anything I should add.
An old ex-Burlington Northern/SP&S ALCo C425 sits gutted and vacant in Scranton PA in the Delaware and Lackawanna deadline. Quite Erie seeing an old iron beast in this condition.
Reading and Northern 802 a real life SW-8 meets its little model from, a Lionel Legacy Reading and Northern 803, might be different numbers but it’s still the same model.
Who said modern and old couldn’t mix? Decided to run my new Legacy SW8 on a little Postwar switching run today.
Here’s a set of Atlas N ALCo FA-1s I picked up today from Lombard Hobbies in CP Rail Action Red also known as the “Pac-man” scheme. They are seen here pulling a mixed freight down my recently completed 3ft x 4ft.
