I know we have many difference of opinion on locos, but it would be interesting to know what is your favorite locomotive and why. I will keep mine a secret right now until others say something as I have 2 favorites and I don't know which one I will pick, but it will be a real puller that is for...

Hey guys, and girls how about seeing who can get the most cars being pulled by a single loco. You get to pick the loco and then we load until it cannot pull anymore. I realize that we cannot send a judge to watch you in action, but I think we can trust everyone to be honest. Once you do this...

My wife... the better half of the equation told me she has found the best rail checker going. The Kato C44-9W running on the tracks seems to find anything that is wrong. We have found and repaired 3 sections where somehow the rails got pinched just a wee bit.... call it sloppy work, or what...

Yesterday a new loco showed up on the Federal Furnace Lines, and it is a C44-9W in Warbonnet paint. It is one handsome machine, and a great running one too. It seems to be a bit on the underweight side for real pulling but does a good job. In slow operations it is great. I can let it creep along...
