Here's my LOTW offering:
Got this a few months ago on Ebay at a great price, but just finally placed it in service on the Ephrata Valley Railroad. It is a custom (by previous owner) Athearn -- Reading Railroad "TrainMaster" #861!! Runs smooth, and performs well hauling freight on the outer line of the EVRR.

I've acquired a lot of Amtrak, but not so cool as that magnificent piece by Mike. FYI,
the G's ran with the rear pantograph up most the time, so that if it failed it would not
collapse into the lead pantograph. Otherwise, during icing conditions, it was common
to run with both graphs up so the front one would clear ice of the line.
