It's a NYNH&H Hudson, class I-5 (which I don't understand since the I-1 to I-4 were Pacifics)

Anyway, BLI is producing them in HO for this summer.
Overview
In 1937, New Haven received ten 4-6-4 locomotives built by Baldwin. These were the last steam power the road would purchase and they were certainly the most beautiful. They featured streamlined boilers that were gloss black with stainless steel stripes and trim (aluminum paint on the tenders.) They were powered by large 80" Boxpox drivers that were ideal for the speedy Shoreline passenger trains that serviced New Haven and Boston. Many of these routes originated in, or continued to, New York via the New Haven's electrified western end. These locomotives hauled some of the most recognizable extra fare trains in railroading including the Merchants Limited, Senator and Yankee Clipper.

Broadway Limited is building the most accurate, smooth-running, sound-equipped, brass-hybrid HO New Haven I-5 Hudson ever.

OK How 'bout this.

NOT PART OF THE GAME, NOT REAL, NOT A PROPOSAL.

Just done by someone with a lot of time on their hands (and it was not me)

Gee, I though I got it. It was based on this photo on gngoat site



I ran out of leads, so I'm really curious.

Hey, sorry guys, but this particular 'game' 'ain't' over yet ... nobody has correctly figured out what railroad owned this locomotive.

Good guesses and nice trys, but so far all of them are wrong!  :-)

Here's another hint ... it was the 'one and only' of this series (4-8-0) that this railroad owned before selling it to its 'second' and 'last' owner.

One more hint ... both 'guesses', though educated, are either too far East or too far West!

Wanna' keep trying?      :-)

HIT!!
Clue was "belpaire boiler". Only PRR and GN used them the most!

CLASS G 12-WHEEL. Brooks and Rogers built about 105 of these 4-8-0 engines for the Great Northern and its predecessor lines between 1891 and 1900. The builder's photo of Montana Central engine No. 100, a G-5 was made in 1899, the year before it became No. 800 on GN's roster. Experiments with cylinder volumes varied the diameter from 19 to 25 1/4 inches, but all G class engines had 32-inch stroke. Weight varied between 78 and 106 tons in the five sub-classes. This was a simple engine, using inside steam admission, and had piston valves and Stephenson valve gear.

I yield to anyone who has a photo ready.

Okay guys,

Here's one that had two railroads. The original owner and the last owner (ran into the early 20s). Anyone know one or both of the railroads?



lanny nicolet (numbers, etc erased to make it more fun :-)

It's commonly known as a box cab diesel. MDC/Roundhouse produced it in plastic (with a heavy metal frame. The HO model sounded like a Warning Blender (or coffee grinder to us pre-Starbuck generation).

Horizon Hobby brought MDC and folded their pre WWII product as Roundhouse and retooling their modern stuff under Athearn. Maybe Roundhouse will rework the box cab and reissue it. Meanwhile mine is in pieces as I'm trying to find a way to install a can motor and a better flywheel. 

There's one here in the Wash DC region this weekend. $7.00 will get you in the door both days. It's in Upper Marlboro Maryland - Greenberg Train Show.

Now if you were stationed here at Bolling AFB, or Andrews AFB (or even the Pentagon), you would not have to take leave.

If you look at front of the Pioneer Zephyr, the window line is not straight across, but bends downward a bit giving it a "mean" look. The B&M/MEC version, it's front window is straight across.

Calling the Pioneer Zephyr the Flying Yankee by just printing the name on the letterboard doesn't make it the Flying Yankee.

And another that needs a bit of buffing up:



I don't think this was particularly high speed, but it would make an interesting model.

That's a Russian motor car. Looks like they copied the Budd design.

Well according to RAPIDO web site, UA designed the train and Pullman-Standard built it on the US side and MLW built it for Canada.

Also the UA Turbo bread and butter service was Grand Central Terminal to South Station.
Boston to Hartford? Well maybe not the UA Turbo set.

OK, here's a steam locomotive. Yes, it was from Lima. But was it built?
Yes or No?

Way too easy.

A Southern Pacific Krauss-Maffei ML-4000,  18 units delivered +3 exDRGW.
units.

German built diesel hydraulics.

Yes, 6 were "Cab" type and 15 were "Hood" type, and both types used the same model number "ML4000"

Some of the hood types also were operated in Brazil.


Your turn.

I won't spoil it.

although it very well could be MLW

Yes, but MLW and CLC were two different Canadian builders. That's like a Danish modeler saying GE and EMD are the same.

Make and model, please?

try this on for size!

No. 3838 (4-6-6-4 Challenger) boasted an engine weight of 584,950 pounds. Her 255 pounds per square inch of boiler pressure drove 69-inch Boxpok disc drivers through 22x32-inch cylinders. She was next-to-last of of a class of 40 similar locomotives delivered to the Union Pacific by American Locomotive Company in 1936-37.

If'm I'm right, I'll post a picture within 20 minutes.
