My locomotive of the week is the Gilbert Pennsylvania railroad B6. One of two they made for the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. This is # 31019 the other B&O is 31031. Maybe their are others. these are the two I know of.
I am repairing a B&O 31031 at this time.

This is a Tyco Burlington F-7 I've been pieceing back together over the past few months. I haven't quite matched the paint on 3 of the ladders yet, but other than that it's track-ready

Hey All,
I got one o dem botchmann as you call them LOL! This one is a good runner for short trains. I tried a little gray paint on the trucks and fuel tank. It's not UP gray but seems to work.

My entries share the same colour/color, names, numbers only. Oh, and what's inside.
I just purchased the CN E-7 last week. And yes, they both contain those Austria Roco motors I am very fond of.
As was posted previously with the Pennsy paint schemes applied to various locomotive models, These are the Canadian National types. And, essentially, they are "Fantasy Model" paint jobs since I don't believe the Canadian National Railway ever owned either of these models.
Enjoy.

and now, the Tales...  
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?

feed your sharks the treats of the "sees"... Bachmints, or, is it pronounced Bac-mints, made by Botchmann Industries.
Beautiful Sharks, Mike!
