Ed - 3377 looking real nice

Bruce - Now that is something you don't see everyday. Cool.

Here is my Bachmann AMTRAK E-60



and Atlas SEPTA AEM-7

Canadian "Heritage" locomotives.As much as I'm a true CN fan CP sure wins the prize with #7016 in the original grey/tuscan red livery.

When the going gets tough it's time to bring out the "Beeg Boy"

OK Ed, ok....I see your "Beeg Boy", and will raise you a "Big Boy"       

I fold Deano ---your Big Boy will even beat my pair of eights.

Ed, my Big boy may beat your "Beeg Boy" , but I admit, ALL your steamers, are really outstanding TOP QUALITY engines  , you have amassed a truly superb collection Ed, truly something to be very proud of  .

Deano---thank you very much for your kind remarks---they are very much appreciated.I am blessed that I've been able to build my collection over the last 30 years or more and I have many people to be thankful for---especially my wife Sharon who has been very supportive in allowing me to pursue my passion and also Doctor Wayne who has been a true inspiration and mentor.Also it's people like yourself and so many other members of BigBlue who provide inspiration and support---I'm very grateful for all your contributions.

Ed - As Deano said you steamers are outstanding.

Deano - That Big Boy is quite a piece of machinery.

So here is the best way of coming up with 16 drivers of something I have not posted before. Two Lehigh & New England IHC 0-8-0 switcheres.

Here's my contribution for this week's Side Shot Saturday---crossing the Desjardin Canal.

The S3A Class Mikadoes were well liked by the Leetown operating crews---they were good steamers,smooth riding and above all stoker equipped---engine-men nick-named them "Cadillacs"
