My LOTW is this Fleischmann Santa Fe FA2. It's a smooth runner.

My LOTW offering this week is an Aristo Craft Philadelphia & Reading HO 4-2-2 Bicycle Steam Engine & Coal Tender



Sean This loco looks very familiar. I wonder what the tie between you and me and it is. Thanks again Sean.

Hi, Sean. Yep, that's a very familiar looking locomotive. Thanks again for one. A perfect fit with my old time HO.

Beautiful locos. I especially like the Bicycle. For a fan of early-century railroading, she's a beauty. Mine is the Amtrak GG-1 I got off of chevelle454. I love me Vampire GG1's!

Yes Frank! Indeed it is. .. BTW... How were you able to get inside my original post and respond to it? In addition to this response I mean?

The G is one of my favorite locomotives. From the PRR to Conrail, it was a survivor. I put two powered vamp trucks in mine to give it some get up
and go. I found that with the single motor it barely pulled three coaches.

It was indeed. Only seen them static, but I love Big Electrics. Love to see a Tyco G repainted into the Rudolph scheme (or Conrail)

Mike just keeps raising the bar, though that Fleischmann is pretty darn
neat. I did get to see one of the last G's hauling a dog train at speed
down the Northeast Corridor in New Jersey, must have been about
'76 or '77. It was painted all black, and all the insignias were painted
over in black, save for a small "CR" stenciled on the nose. As diminished
as she was, she was still a magnificent sight- a faint whine from her
traction motors and the reverberation of a long string of 40 foot box
cars behind her. She was hauling. Looking back, I wonder if she
was headed to the scrapper on her final run, with all those soon to
be obsolete 40 footers...

Is this a "Randolph Scheme?"

oh dang!
I want one too!
Since the set only had a generic caboose for it!

I promises to find my UP loco & B unit that looks like the ATSF one in here soon!
