My newest loco is this nice C&O unit, not sure of the manufacturer ( the shell has a screw up top to hold the shell on, and a tab in back to hold the rear shell in place). EDIT April 12TH - it's a Model Power - Haven't tried it yet, but was wanting a long diesel, and this fit the bill. Timonium yielded up some good bargains this spring, only wish I had mo' money to spend there!

A Rivarossi aka AHM 0-4-0 Docksider
The dummy front knuckle coupler is missing, not bad for being 30+ years old.
Had to replace the rear origingal hornhook with a McHenry [I think] knuckle replacement. Still runs, even the light still works.
What i like best is the drawbar detail, how complex it is for a little loco,compare to a more modern LL or MP 0-4-0.

My Penn Line Decapod! Due to the faults of the previous owner I had to dismantle it complete to make it run.
Now it runs fine. - Erich

So this isn't mine, but I repainted it so that counts for something lol. Buddy of mine got this together on ebay with another engine he was going after. It ran well, but had some hand painting that didn't look to well. (it was ATSF, all the numbers and decals are removed in this pic)
He asked if I would repaint it. Maybe something with a quasi tuscan red pennsy theme. So I basically kinda made it up as I went. This was the result!
Screwed up a few small things. Like the rear light was just some white paint & glue. Would have setup round & smooth till I touched it trying to pop a bubble. Also I let the body sit in PineSol to long when I was stripping it so it deformed a wee bit in places. Still not to shabby I think.

Well since I am seeing alot of steam here she is. My Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern w DCC. I picked it up at a train show for 17 bucks the last owner tried to detail it but ended up Frankenstiening the shell. I got ahold of Bachmanns service Dept. and the had them for 30 bucks. So I got a BIG steam DCC loco for 47 bucks not to bad. I will have to take pics when I get the new boiler installed.

Mr AMC GREMLIN I do believe your Chessie E-8 is a Model Power. They actually at one put and time made these and feature flywheel drive. Thats my only guess becuase I saw one before
