Nice paint scheme. Whose railroad is that?

Thanks, Mike.
The railroad, quite a few years ago, was actually my son's. He's moved on from trains, but he also had this Tyco Mikado...
...with a can motor and NWSL gearbox (sold to one of my friends), and this modified Bowser K-11 Pacific...
...also with a can motor and NWSL gearbox. I bought the Pacific (and will redo it eventually as a TH&B loco) and the switcher shown previously. It's a little too modern for my layout's era, but is a good-running locomotive, and great for testing newly-laid track.
He also had this Atlas C-425, which I bought, but it's a bit of an orphan because the CN never owned any C-425s.
I did all of the detail work and painting of all four locos, along with some freight cars which went to another friend.
There were also a few passenger cars...
...and I'll likely hack them up and convert them to wooden baggage cars.

I would keep the passenger cars as is. Maybe a run through passenger train.

Killing me with the CSAO units! I've seen some of these, and they're all one digit off from the units that run past my town every other day. One day I'll do a few modern units to match what I see. I do have an Athearn RTR model of #5287, but I don't know when I'll get around to doing it. I've seen that one by my house though, so it works for me.
