Here's my one HO purchase from the train show, love it or hate it:
As you probably know, it's Life-Like. It runs forward well but not reverse. I suspect I'll be replacing some gears eventually, but the price was right. I've wanted one ever since they first came out when I was in junior high. I love BL2s and I love the details.

I've got that one as well been. In fact I've got a bunch of the AHM version. They're quite different when you look at them side by side:

My LOTW is a Cox Big Pine GP9. I fitted it with a Walthers GP9M drive and added DCC.

I agree, great detailing! I have one and had to replace the axle gears with Athearn replacements. It was pretty easy. - Thomas

I too got a few of the BL-2's! Mine, that is Proto2000 from Life-Like, is in Western Maryland "Fireball" paint. The others I have are from AHM......I plan to make at least one of the AHM's a dummy, super detailed to sort of match the P2K model, but be a model in Western Maryland "Speed" paint.....

This is my LOTW:
It is a Lionel PRR 0581 E33 Rectifier. It is in addition to the group I had photographed previously as I discovered this one in storage just recently.
Since taking this picture below, I have added two more New haven and this PRR pictured above.

This is a John English FB1 riding on plastic Hobby Town trucks.
It will be pulled by a Hobbyline FA1 with a Walthers drive.
I plan to eventially strip and repaint both units.

My most recent acquisition, a PRR Atlas/Kato Alco C-425. It appears to have never been used. I got it for a great price. It will shortly be going into the shops for a re-paint.

Searching through photos, I found this one of an Aristocraft HO steam engine, 4-6-0, to post. I'd been looking for these pictures , naming the folder is all-important. Not to mention looking in sub-folders.  Anyway, a B & O steamer is my contribution this week.
Now all I gotta do is find the box I put them in.

That is auto prime....eer....Tuscan Red of course Was a custom job for my friend because it was a good runner, but a bit of a ugly duckling.
Rear shot! Was really just a repaint and liberal use of PRR decals. Looked much better though IMO.
