** A LOCOMOTIVE I acquired yesterday at the Timonium MD train show. Big and boxy with 2 pantographs like the EP-60 of Amtrak. It also appears to have 3 axel trucks . The power truck is only 2 axel. Outside detail makes it appear to have three. Still it is a interesting locomotive to see. I cleaned it up a little and it does need more cleaning. The dust was thick on the roof, so it must have been out for a long time. It almost looked like it was growing hair.
* Hi Ken : I am still adding equipment from across the pond.
This is the TRIANG ELECTRA 27000.

** * Well Kenny nope I didn't. You have over estimated me. Is there one? I haven't really cleaned and serviced it yet. I would have found it then. Maybe !
* Ohhhh now I got to look at the engine. One comment ! " Really good pantographs.
* Today is the super bowel and I am going to sit around with some old friends, and consume beer for a few hours, tell outlandish stories of thing that never happened, and once over walk home. I don't care for either team in it, so I will be occupied with the game only with bull sh___ing and Brew. It should be a good and interesting evening.
