I was browsing my local hobby shop and noticed they had three Athearn blue box F7s in various road names on sale. I decided to buy myself an early Christmas present and purchased one in Northern Pacific livery. Since it was mostly black already it was easy to convert it to a Penn Central F unit. Most of my locomotives are pretty dusty and road weary but I think I'll keep this one shiny clean.

Let's see your tree trains! Here's mine...

I like the procedure for posting photos here. It took a bit to become familiar with the process, but I find it friendlier than most others, and much easier to add photos and mix text. For a "Non-PC" ( in more ways than just computers) person, the process is quite intuitive, and easy to figure out.

No, the police aren't coming to get you... (should they be?) but rather I thought it'd be neat to see some black and white pictures of your favorite rail scene... or any scene for that matter. Let's see 'em!
If I start, we'll have nowhere to go but up! This is one of my favorites... A Challenger sitting next to the tail end of a Zephyr.

Is there a quote plus button somewhere. It makes it so you can grab quotes from multiple threads before entering/editing a new or existing post.
If there's not, is it too terribly difficult to add?

One trains the mind, the other minds the train.
