Here's my Stewart Baldwin AS-616, probably my smoothest-running loco. SP had both AS-616's and similar DRS-6-4-1500's. This was sold as a 616, but I believe numbered for a DRS type. In the background, we can just see a BritishRail InterCity class 47.

G,
Judging from the F on the end of the frame,I'd say long hood forward.
Although I don't really care for SP,there is something about the black widow paint scheme that I like.

My custom painted AHM SD40-2 in Western Maryland colors. Doesn't run worth a hoot but it sure looks good sitting there.
And yes, she's numerically correct>>> http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/wm7471.jpg

| Nice looking SD40! What is wrong with it? I have rebuilt several and might be able to help you out with it.

my ahm/con cor mexican i believe,got to get around to fitting horn ken
this is something i won recently,a kumata (KMT) brass king george class loco built for fulgarex of switzerland,in 70s bit of work to be done,only 200 were made,ken
The first, 6000 King George V, appeared in 1927 and was sent on a tour of North America, for the Centenary celebrations of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), where its sleek appearance and smooth performance impressed all who witnessed it, the application of pressurised oil lubrication showed its advantages over the largely grease lubricated American Locomotives, and was even incorporated into a later design for the B&O in 1928

Love that brass! Here's a Tyco I just got. I believe it's a 75 model. It has the very unusual plastic MU-2 motor.

Fresh out of the box... LNER 4-6-0
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=244572&nseq=0
It's not my father's oldsmobile, it isn't mine, either. All I know is that it is new and real.

I thought I'd show this one, again...

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

Outstanding...
