This friday begins my clubs open house season. If youre in the Long Island, NY area, come by and run some trains!
Its a bit hard to find as the entrance is on the north side of the building in the parking lot.
From the east side, south of tracks, from the west side, north of Subway.

Always a good operating session when you can clear the yard, if only briefly.
Our annual invitational session was a load of fun, having enough people to operate the entire layout.

Friday saw the club debut of the newest coach, along with my two other narrow vestibule cars (and the milk reefer).

I was able to bring down my newly rebuilt Key Alco FA1/FB1 to the club for some laps. Here, they are passing by the Bethlehem Steel plant. Nice locomotives, took some time to rebuild, and still need a little work, but im happy with them.

Notch 8, dont be late!
I was able to bring down the PA's to the club tonight for their shakedown run. Quiet, smooth, powerful, everything you could ask for in a locomotive, all while pulling a nice sized passenger train.

The locomotive from my last post is now back together and ready for service, now with an added B unit!
Can't wait to bring them to the club for their test/shake down run.

The newest locomotive project is underway!! Always like to fully tear down a locomotive to give it a full service. Bonus points if anyone can guess the locomotive!

E units on freight?!? It's more common than you think! Figured I give these newly rebuilt E units a true break in run, pulling 40+ club cars that ride like the brakes are on.
They performed fantastic and are ready for service!

The milk car now has vents and more detailed doors.
Still need to add ice hatches to the corners.

What a project this BLI L1 ended up being. The previous owner decided to replace the bell and spilled superglue all over the boiler. I was able to sand it off and give it a small repaint. Then the gearbox chipped a tooth, sometimes you can't win with trains.

Decided to have a chill day at the train club and run a local. It's always nice going at a slower pace once in a while.

Bought down my newly finished Proto 2K GP9's to the train club for their shake down run. They make easy work of this 50+ car manifest, and they didn't break. Amazing!

Made and Imported in 2002 this Key Imports K-5b is the crown jewel of my collection. Here it eases its 7 car passenger train out of the station on a grade, the bark of the exhaust letting everyone around know it’s no small task.

The latest model to leave the work bench and hit the mainline, a brass A-B F7 set from Oriental Limited. All they needed was a cleanup , new gears, and some DCC. Now they are ready to put some hours at the club.
