Those are nice. I love the variety.
Well, I've got no Virginians, so I'll put up another Alco:
Model Power Southern RS-2. Picked this up in the box at an antique store. It's light as a feather, so it won't pull many cars, but it's actually a fairly smooth, reliable runner.

That is a nice color scheme. I have two Conrail RS2s and I believe they are lighted to run long hood forward.

Someone mentioned awhile ago there haven't been as many locos appearing in the LotW threads. So I dug this out of storage for a little run tonight.
This Athearn Trainmaster came in a box of stuff from a old friend of mine who was giving it to me to look after, probably forever haha. He did all the work to them years ago and wanted to see them goto a place where if he ever wanted to see them again he could. I ran this engine once before and it ran ok (sat for many years). Today I pulled it apart and cleaned of the armature on the motor and a drop of oil in each gear box. Gave the wheels a good cleaning. Runs a little smoother & quieter with just that little bit of love. Also its nice he took the time to add kadee's and hardwire some of the contacts inside. It spent well over a half hour pulling several cars with no hiccups.

Got this Bachmann Fairbanks Morse H16-44. I like the zebra stripes and the high hood.
