Accolades!
G.E., I resist coming into the HO forum being an N Scaler because I know all too well (having been in HO) what products are available that I can't get in N. Well, I'm happy I stopped by and caught your posts. It comes across to me that you enjoy running trains. The best part, your layout reminds me of the years I lived in NNJ. I worked in Paterson, right along RR Ave. and used to drive around the old yard. Hung out at Suffern, NY where they parked all the U34CHs, went there for overnighters on Friday/Saturdays waiting for the long freight that would come thru at 2 or 3 AM and drop cuts into the yard in the pitch of night.
The U-Boats were great especially in winter when you could see the flames of exhaust escaping as a jet and the rythmic throb of their prime movers as they wound up.
I'd love to go on and on.
The last few shots above remind me of so many of these things. I have a cab car and coach- Bombadier cars- I need a Boat! Man if only they rolled all this out in N. And I'm a juice fan- GG1s, E60s- 'cha!
Okay, I'll stop now and hope you'll post more.
Thanks for the ride.
