HO locomotives, some not vintage but less than 20 years old. None are DCC, only DC.

I went to the Franklin NJ, train show last Saturday May, 6, 2023. I think this is their first train show since the Covid shutdown. The shows use to be at the Armoery here in Franklin. This show was at the Fire departments hall a few blocks away.. I got their late after 12 noon but still found 2 HO Trainline locos and 2 HO Varney cars. The locos were the B&O FA1 and FB1. still boxed and it seems only test run. The cars both Varney had to be late Varney and vintage. Both have the Metal trucks that came from A. C. Gilbert. They are Gilbert part number # P-150396. You can see them on the photos below. The special notch across the mounting screw is there to hold a special bronzed strip to pick-up electricity from the rails when used as tender trucks, or on special car that had interior lighting. on the third photo showing the car bottoms you can almost read the part numbers.

Keeping within the threads title, which is pretty easy here is another HO steam loco. To me this one has a history of not be so good but looking great.
Here is a couple of Bachmann PRR K4 Pacifics. Yes you can with the older models and get a good one. The new ones are even better to see. I cant afford one now so I'll never know just how good they are.
