At a steam up today in Deleware my locomotive has some issues steaming so I spent the day chatting with friends. My friend Boris is checking his live steam loco as it trundles past. In a moment he will stop the loco and add more fuel to it. I thought his inspection made for a good photo.

In the background, we see a ride-on-scale 4-8-4 steam locomotive running on 7.5" gauge track.

The Miniature Railroad’s story began in 1919 with a man named Charles Bowdish of Brookville, PA. Originally a holiday display on the second floor of his house, it moved to the Buhl Planetarium in 1954, and ultimately found its final home at Carnegie Science Center in 1992.

When I saw this train along U.S. 50 west of Mcarthur in Vinton County, Ohio, I was reminded of Lampy's years as an engineer.

Very realistic layout

Extensive track layout and free rides around the park for kids, even big kids (parents)

All trains are built and run by their owners, quite an engineering feat.

Holiday Model Railroad

For 'Window Wednesday'. 'Cause it's far too wet to go out today to capture big ones, and nobody said they had to be real ;-))))

A Chicago and North Western class E2 drifts east from Union Terminal to the Fleming engine facility in June of 1936. The crew has left the train consist at Union Terminal for another locomotive to continue the journey to the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis.

CNW #647 is an E2 class 'Pacific' 4-6-2 built in 1923 by the American Locomotive Company. It was designed for fast passenger service and regularly touched the 100 mph mark on its journey between Chicago and the Twin Cities. The model is a Pacific Fast Mail brass unit that has been heavily modified to improve both its running qualities as well as its appearance. A Tsunami II sound decoder and keep alive circuit has been installed in the tender and it was custom painted and weathered by Mark Guiffre.

Using a few cars as handles, two Santa Fe Geeps are deep in the weeds trying to spot some stock cars past the lumber yard. Once spotted they'll have a flat car and boxcar to spot at the lumber yard.
