Deano - That is a cool and different UP unit on the point.

Here are a few quick shots of some newly acquired locos. First up is a Bachmann Lehigh & New England 2-8-0 Consolidation. The loco is DCC and runs pretty nice. Had a minor problem with the drawbar lifting the front trucks of the tender off the tracks. Adjusted the drawbar some and that fixed it. The tender feels light and I think I need to add some weight. I have not had a chance to throw it on the scale yet.



Second is an IHC 2-8-0 Consolidation. Box says Illinois Central. I don't think so as the tender does not match the locomotive. I picked it up on Ebay cheap. Ran a little rough at first but as time has gone by it has gotten better. I intend to remove the numbers and decal it for either NYO&W or Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Lines. Need to replace the couplers.



Last is an IHC unlettered 0-8-0 switcher. Plans for this one are either NYO&W or PRSL. Couplers to be replaced.



If all goes well I may have a short run by posted later this weekend.
