This LOTW is for raysouthernpac. Ray, you sent me a bag of Model Power PRR E7 parts a while back and I wanted you to see that I finally did something with them. Amazingly, a complete powered unit was in there, plus a dummy. I kept them PRR but since the shells were a little rough, repainted and decaled in the gold stripe scheme.
Thanks again!

Nice job with both the paint and decals. I can't see any sign of the decal film, whatsoever. I have to believe that it takes more than a little skill and patience to get that lettering straight, square and even down the length of the locomotive, too.

Back when Stewart was making HO locomotives they made a special 4 loco set of C&O Baldwin AS616's in four different numbers for a C&O historical Society to sell. Mine is one of the four as the box label states.
C&O AS616 #5559.

I will repost a pic later out of the box but for now, here is a picture of my valentines gift. My girlfriend nailed the Road, Scale and Era correct just by listening to me. She is a keeper.

Looks to be a custom job. BLI/Precision Craft made a Goose years ago.

Looking at Ray's model and looking at yours, while not an exact match the Mantua Pacific seems to have been based on the USRA Heavy Pacific

My loco this week is a United brass 2-8-0 that I picked up locally about a year and a half ago.
I redid the paint job and polished up a few items.
Incidentaly, it is NOT the Maryland & Pennsylvania railroad. It is the GrandMA n GrandPA
railroad.

An AHM 2-4-0 (NOT a Mikado, Zelda) rounds the bend on the Two Seasons layout.
Thanks to Old Timer, I now have a plan to rip all this up and build something much
better in the same allotted space.
Very nice round up this week.

Yeah, it's only half a Mikado.
Here's my contribution: My Hornby Thomas. Sorry for the rubbish paintjob and the 2014 photo.

Got this genesis SD45 for Christmas two years ago, but then it went missing. I was ready to tear down the house until I found it was just 5 feet away from me in a closet the while time.

I suspect it might not be rendering the OR sign (|) just before the "Y" in the file name right. The browser will open the file okay, but I think the server side programming in the forum gives it a special meaning rather than taking it as part of the name.
