I've seen these AHM F's on the Internet and thought it was a neat toy. What's the story on this, any help? It isn't listed on the collector's site. I'd like to fix the shell.

My loco is non-loco, a streetcar. I'm going to try to DCC this, looks doable.

Actually Alco Fan the loco in your post is made by ATT. If you turn the engine over you'll notice that marking just ahead of the fuel tank.

My LOTW for all you C-Liner fans. The 8 wheel drive version by IHC, Southern powered and dummy. I'm pretty sure the AHM/Tempo shells will just drop on this chasis.

This is my LOTW it is a Rivarossi 4-6-4 Hudson. I just got it this Sunday at a train show in its box for $30. Runs like a charm. Now I just have to do some detailing on it.

The guy wanted 40 I talked him down. He had another one I should have bought that one too. Cause I was running The Hudson with a Bachmann Niagara centi tender. Boy is it sharp . It looks great double heading with the Niagara pulling some heavy weights. Well Its my first Hudson and it wont be my last. Now that I got my wish of running one with that centi tender.

Got these for 30 bucks. An Athearn New Haven F7 set. A unit is powered with rubberband drive and the B is a dummy. Neat looking set IMHO.

I picked this IHC GG1 (Model # M9672) off of Ebay on a late night BIN. It wasn't cheap, but it was the only one I have ever seen. It is NIB too.

| As a matter of fact, the Virginian DID have electric locomotives. The N&W acquired them through the 1959 acquisition of the Virginian, renamed them Norfolk & Western, then used them for about two or three years, then discontinued them. They did not have any GG-1s, like the one in the picture though.

Here's a couple of electric engines the Virginian had  The top picture is EL-C, while the bottom picture has a pair of EL-2Bs. Both were manufactured by General Electric.

| Those EL-2B's are cool. Too bad someone doesn't make those now for Ho. Thanks for posting those pics. I have never seen those engines.
