My Dad has a WM 2-6-6-2. It's a great engine. Nice shot.

Thanks again Curt. The ATSF 2-6-6-2 #1175 in the photo above looks better than it runs. It will pull 20 cars on level track after over 400 hours of running time. On grades its another story.

Another Oldie From The "Original" JJJ&E

CB&Q E-8's on the mainline on the upper level of the "Original" JJJ&E. The flowers you see track side were the subject for an article in N Scale Magazine in 2007. The article was entitled "Modeling Flowers In N Scale".

Nice picture.  How tall is the rocky wall that the E8's are on?

Thanks Curt.   The track on the upper level is eight inches above the mainline at its lowest point. The rocky ledge behind the E-8's rises another 12 inches at its highest point. All the rocks are individual rock castings that I pieced together. The interesting thing about this layout is all the mainline track is elevated. (ca 120 feet of mainline) There were four reverse loops plus the turntable. Operations and running trains on this layout were to say the least "very interesting. You had to pay close attention when trains were in operation. This layout was dismantled in February 2009 when I moved from Jupiter Florida to Frisco Texas. It wain full operation for over nine years.

An Old Time Classic Photo Of A ATSF Mikado # 4016 on the mainline in the center of San Marino. There is an ESU Lok-Sound decoder and a mini oval speaker in the tender. This Mikado was the subject of an article published in N Scale Magazine and was on the cover of the July/August 2007 issue of N Scale Magazine.

A color photo on the engineers side of a kit bashed Southern Kato Mikado using a GHQ detail kit. The added weight from the addition of the pewter details allows this Mikado to pull over 60 cars on level track. The center of the town of San Marino is in the background.
