Technically an older picture from the summer.   I might have a Conrail  problem.  There  has also been a few new additions since the picture was taken,  and some of the PC you can see has been since patched.

That's an outstanding collection GEC---I showed it to my wife to show I'm not the only obsessed collector.

The morning mist is still present in the Leetown Yard as Mikado #3377 heads out on an early run to Lowbanks.

Yeah,  if you're in this hobby long enough and never manage to narrow  down your focus, this is the result!

I  feel  like  for a good chunk of them, either they were on sale for the right price,  or it seemed like a fun project at the time.  I  think  only  recently  has the "collecting" bug really hit  me.  Its not enough just to have a GP38-2,  now I need the early and late phases,  some patched some blue,  and at least  one where the long hood is the front  and they only way to tell is knowing your  PC  GP38-2s  or  being able to read that little tiny F on the sill.  I'm probably descending into madness!

I never want to hear "all diesels look alike to me"  ever  again!  The more I dig, the more  I'm finding that there are plenty of variations.

Looks  great!

Fortunately,  only about 2/3 of them have decoders, so the power  grid is safe for now!

Ed - Nice shot of 6153. You can almost feel the ground tremble as it approaches. 3377 coming out of the mist is a cool photo.

GEC - Awesome collection! Now I don't feel so bad about my GG-1 collection. What are the electric motors to the left of the GG-1's in the first photo?
