Mr. Nutbar,

Is there any way you would be able to re-host the photos somewhere so they can be seen? I would love to see them, still Smile

Doctorwayne,

Are you talking about the photos from the first several pages of the thread?

Ah, I had forgotten about those. I would think it difficult to even determine what the original picture was. The photos, in most cases, will still be on the photobucket site, and viewable, at least to the person having that account, but it would be difficult to match a particular photo to the symbols which now appear in their place.

Don't worry, though: my good friend Mister Nutbar has lots of locomotives and an itchy trigger finger for his camera, so you'll eventually get to see the entire roster.

Exohead---thanks for the kind words but I cannot restore any previous photobucket photos but as Doctor Wayne suggested I'll attempt to replace them with some '' new and improved " pictures down at the Leetown yard.
Doc---I noticed your previous reply posted at 7:45AM Confusedhock: did you get up early to do some boxing day shopping or are you still partying from last night Cheers

Here's the 3377, another of Mister Nutbar's Mikados, at the Lowbanks shops of the Erie Northshore...

The Northshore often leases CNR locos from the Leetown Division, as traffic out of Port Maitland is growing rapidly. Here's a different view of the 3513...

...and CNR 3734 at the Lowbanks coaling tower...

Mr. Nutbar ~ That is unfortunate, but understandable. I look forward to more awesome photos Smile

And yes, Mikados are my favorite. I grew up about an hour from the East Broad Top RR, which had somewhere around 6 or 7 narrow gauge mikes, and ever since I first saw one as a kid, I have been fascinated by them.

Thanks, but all of them belong to Mister Nutbar, too.

The East Broad Top has long been one of my favourites to visit, even when no trains are running...

...but it would be nice to see them running again...

I hope that one day it will run again, but as the shutdown lasts longer and longer, the likelihood of that gets lower and lower :/

Mr. Nutbar,

What locomotive is that? I've never seen a 2-10-2 before (that's what it looks like).
