I like trains.
For the first time since 1963 you can board a train at Phoebe Snow's waterfront mansion.

Check out our new train! We chose to unveil it on Sunday so nothing will upstage it in the headlines! Right? Right?

I have the Big Boy, but that's only because it came in an issue of Railfan & Railroad. I've seen these before and it won't go anywhere. I had John Deere cards as a kid. MAFCA gave out Ford Model A cards. And who can forget Atlas Train Caps?

Back at the "North Pole" (the Intersection of Telegraph and Bolton Roads in Gasport), another Alco RS-32 #2035 waits to head East to Medina. This one is on home rails as she was built in 1962 as New York Central #8035.

This was the train crossing Telegraph Road in Gasport. #2002 is an Alco RS-32 that was built for the Southern Pacific in 1962. Only 35 RS-32's were built. 20 for the New York Central and 15 for the SP. Today only four are still in service.

I went to the North Pole today, very underwhelming.

Do you ever just go for the maximum silliness, just because?

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

With it repaired last night, I test ran it today with no issues. I also used 1:32 rolling stock from MTH and MDC Roundhouse. It ran with no issues at all.

Another member of the club does not think highly of them at all though, but the test run went without issue. However, when I was putting it up on a shelf, one of the side rods broke. I took the engine home with me to fix it.

This engine was donated to our club last week. I tested on the indoor G Scale layout in the barn which has track power. Overall I like it.

This is a G Scale locomotive that was made by Lionel. I know some of you are thinking "Isn't Lionel O Gauge?" or "That doesn't look like those cheap battery trains they make!" But this is from Lionel's foray into proper G Scale from the 80's and 90's.

Meanwhile I have American, British and German trains together.

It is my pleasure to announce that I now have 1,000 followers here on Bluesky! Thanks to everyone who follows me.

I was married but I'm not anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

Then either swear her in, release the Epstein Files or even better yet, do both.

We actually prefer them unstreamlined, this was clearly done to please NTs.

1. 30 Years ago today, we said goodbye to one of the most iconic names ever in the history of railroading; the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, better known simply as the "Santa Fe." On this day in 1995, the Santa Fe merged with Burlington Northern to form BNSF Railway.

This, but with the Shay.

We also run 7 1/4" Gauge and actually hauled freight with it today too.

The club's train passing the Hummer-Skelly Express on the North end

Meeting up at the North end.
