Tyger Tyger, burning bright - Long live the Rio Grande!
Double trouble, show us your double diesels! Any make, any model, any road - extra Tyco cred awarded if sporting the same running number, dummies welcome. Since these IHC SD24's used original Tyco molds, they are arguably the Tycoest Tyko locos I own. The leading knuckle coupler's cosmetic for unlike my old IHC UP SD24, these new D&RGW units came with universal couplers. Ace x 2!

| That's what I'm talking about! Brilliant set of 6926 Centennials, shaygetz. You would need a really wide lens to get those beasts in single file! Superb choice.

Hi All,
Nice stuff! I have a couple of Tyco F units, 1 dummy and 1 power. A guy I use to work with gave me these. They run good. Pardon the dust LOL!
Nice idea for the double headers.
Mike

I've got that one, but since I don't have two, I won't show it this week.
Great timing with the theme. I wanted to show these this week anyway. They're Athearns, one powered, one unpowered, from a recent garage sale lot:
Just to keep my Tyco credibility, check these out:
I recently repowered the shark in front with a CD tray motor. Runs great!
The front unit has a plastic MU-2 with screws. Handy for maintenance, but runs noisy.

| Awesome! I love BL2's. That C&O is right on top of my most wanted list, along with the Mopac.

Wow Mike, digging the mellow Tyco Rio Grandes!
Of course, no-one can ever have too many F-units and it's good to see them so well represented.
burlington77, your cred is intact as it's a known fact that twin BN sharks are made of pure Tyco. But are your Athearns F7's or F9's? I can never tell!
Excellent collection everyone but steam heads oughtn't be left out. If you're lucky enough to own a pair of Boosters or Big Boys or anything in between, please join in - the more the merrier!

I'd settle for an engine that runs well let alone a pair!  Great shots everyone.
