Looks like I get to start this again. My LOTW is a 0-4-0 that I picked up for my "Junk Food"
train. A Life-Like Good n Plenty loco.

A New One 0-4-0T. The original version before the Life Like version came along. Has a Rivarossi motor in it.

Justin, that 2-4-2 Baldwin Locomotive Works you've got sitting there looks pretty interesting.

 I love the overall style of that beaut.

Also a New One/Aristocraft, the "Columbia". Would love to find an intact one of these, but zinc rot always seems to get to them before I do

/tyco/forum/uploaded/Chops124/20150528163217_MR Compound 001.JPG
Newest addition to the fleet, a Hornby Midland Railways Compound of the turn of the century, perfect for my timeline, in the Victorian period. Two low pressure
cylinders on the outside, a third, unseen, high pressure cylinder in the middle of the
frame, under the boiler. Used a bit in passenger service. This model bears a
manufacture date of 1983 and country of origin as Britain. New in box, the
drivers promptly fell off one side and the engine, which I hoped would have the
motor under the boiler, turns out to be a tender drive with a pancake motor.
My previous experiences with tender drives is that they derail at leisure.
After a little reassembly and oiling, she started up pretty well, albeit
herky-jerky. I have her cruising about the layout, in reverse for now, and
she seems to be loosening up well and shows no proclivity to derailing at all.
