Here's some of my Gilbert HO diesels... Enjoy!
Here's most of Pikemaster diesels. All roadnames produced are shown but the dummy units and uncataloged engines aren't.
My favorite of the Pikemaster diesels... 31037 and 31037/8 M&StL units
Scarce painted version Sante Fe L-3003
Rare 31039 Mopac
 
Chassis for 31039
Unusual variation of the common B&O 421. This is painted on an olive green shell. Most were painted on a black shell
31014 Southern Pacific in OB
425 & 427 B units
 
31017 C&O in ob

Thank you sir!
Here's a couple pics of the rare uncataloged 1961 A-A C&O diesels. Both units are painted on a white shell, dated AUG 1961 inside. The 31025 powered A unit is easier to find than the L-1002 dummy unit. This example is missing the horn from the roof. Hard to find in any condition though...

| I'll be sure to post up some videos once I get my layout finished. Too many other priorities in front of it for now though unfortunately. Some of these there aren't too many collectors that would even consider running them. I operate everything.

Very nice Alco's and shots!! I love the use of the white background -- makes the locomotives "stand out." Great work!

| Thank you. I have a weak spot for the 31017/31022 engines. I have quite a few of them. One of the nicest looking diesels Gilbert produced.

| In all the years I've been going to train shows I've only come across one of those RSD15's. It was about two years ago and the vendor was asking huge money for it. It was in the OB though.
