PRR used the same boiler to make their L1 Mikado 2-8-2.

In PRR a nice brass loco is the K4. I have a United Pacific Fast mail One.

John I have been trying. frank

For trains from the late 1950's they run great. Here is my TYCO 0-4-0 switcher. Those are the three I have. All are shown In the TYCO 1955 catalog on the HOseeker site

My other TYCO labeled loco is a 0-6-0t. frank

Thank you Zathros, It kind of looks like what existed One Hundred Seventy-Nine years ago. It is the best till someone else makes a better one. To bad the Depot just didn't make the age of photography. I do feel that somewhere in a private collection is other lithographs or drawings of this first...

Hey gbwdude I got one of those Mellnor conversions for a tyco-mantua 0-6-0 switcher and did the work and got it running. It was ok for awhile untill the axels kept locking because the metal used was too soft and bent in normal use locking the drivers. Trying to find a photo! Cant find it! I...

Tyler, Good luck with you project. frank

Tyler Its model railroading. it doesn't matter how you build it. The CNJ's biggest steam engines were Pacifics and Mikadoes. They lasted to when the railroads folded. For the years you mentioned you should be fine with whatever you do. frank

Well to keep this thread going which is important to me I'll tell you about the very reasonable few things i got at last weekends train show at the garden state expo center in Edison NJ. First of all is a Mantua original all metal pacific loco. It is pretty special because it is one of those...

Well Dad. Ah that doesn't sound right, Hey Swampy, Nice to meet you here. Here in Jersey we had the Rahway Valley Railroad basically going north and south. With the CNJ, LVRR PRR and Lackawana cutting through the middle going everywhere else this was a railroad in the right place at the right...

Well I have a new monitor. A Sceptre Monitor It doesn't set up a good as the Dell did. Lots of lost screen. Now that my photos are back and i am not using the little chrome book here is another photo of the completed Depot showing just the train shed and terminal as seen from the west.

Now I do use Norton but I thought it did it automatically. I try your way soon. I'm sure that I mentioned over in the depot thread a Aristo-Craft 4-4-2 I was working on. I got it together and working. It just needs some lettering. New One Japan 4-4-2

I should be getting my new monitor tomorrow. While playing with the Chromebook I somehow got my spellcheck reloaded and turned back on so my spelling should improve.

* I really miss Bill Nelsons postings. I know he's here somewhere. I go back alot to those in this topic on pages 10 and 11 to read through them again, time and time again. I've even edited some to put things in that I should have back then. Here he showed his old stuff from 40 to 50 years ago...

well my desktop screen isn't working. I am on a chromebook and my pictures are not here.

Nothing has happened here but a repair of the Aristo-Craft 4-4-2 atlantic type locomotive I got at the recient train show last weekend. My computer is out of action and I am using my chrome book to access the internet and make this post. Today I added a HO Train Co. CNJ 4-6-0 camelback to...

On page 8, post Sep 28, 2018 is the Appleton view which some say was 1848. That is the date the Patterson and Hudson Railroad opened their depot in Jersey City on land they acquired from the New Jersey Railroad. This view shows a hip roof with a gothic styled bell tower on the New Jersey...

Good info John. I had some interest shown towards the depot at the train show last saturday. It was a good experience. On tuesday at the meeting of the Jersey Central Historical Society the depot will also be shown. That should be interesting. I'll take some photos there. At the train show...

I think put to much height in the base and to little in the belfry.
