everybody talks about the hudsons, mohawks, and niagaras, but never the consolidations, mikados, pacifics, and ten-wheelers.

share this around to show people that the NYC isnt just about 4-8-2s and 4-6-4s

Please give this a watch, comment or share.

It's a lovely video that's being quickly buried by the algorithm, and more people should see this incredible layout in which all the rolling stock has been custom painted by me over the last 15 years!

Curl up today and watch one of my favorite layout tour videos I've ever made: Visiting the Vasona Branch!

This route is canonically part of the ALTA, so I ran over it with 4-4-0 #2015.

Shes looking good.
However due to a problem with the harness, the headlight might not work sadly. And replacing the harness at this point is probably too much of a pain.

The B-2 switcher had her first test under power.
Last night I wired up the electrics in the tender and crossed my fingers as I turned her on.
Always love when my installs go right the first time.
