A Lionel reference?!?!? In MY HO scale 2 rail trains!?!?!

When layout work at the club causes all the club equipment to be staged in one spot for safety, you never really know how much equipment the club has until it's all in one spot.

Perfection

Fresh Object. I think this is my favourite loco now and it doesn't even run yet

Sometimes, I like the run my trains without sound, and just have the clickity clack of the rails. This is an old Bachmann PRR K4 (4-6-2) No. 1361 that I haven’t run in a while, it has no speaker but I kinda forget how well it runs. At the end you get a good look at my switching layout. #modeltrains

I recently got one of my dream models that's not from the PRR, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Pioneer Zephyr. This is a Challenger Imports Brass model, and it's a beautiful set, plated, runs smooth, everything you could want. #modeltrain #modeltrains

I think I shall name it "SMOL". 🚂

My train is the passenger train, but take a look at the amazing detail on another club members PRR work train. Well done! #modeltrains #modelrailroads #southjersey

A normal train to close out the open house today with @spitfire.bsky.social

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.

One week away! 🚂 gardenstatetrainclub.org

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.

"The PRR used to run these babies for miles, and it's in great shape." #modeltrains #modeltrain

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. #modeltrain #modeltrains

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. #modeltrain #modeltrains

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. #modeltrain #modeltrains

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! #modeltrain #modeltrains

Some late night club nonsense. Seeing if the Q2 can get around the tightest (flat) curve on the layout with @prrshepherd.bsky.social and @dagg3r-actual1-1.bsky.social

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! #modeltrain #modeltrains

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. #modeltrain #modeltrains

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. #modeltrain #modeltrains

How many cabooses do you need on the train??.....yes. #modeltrain #modeltrains

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! #modeltrain #modeltrains

Finally, I got around to reorganizing my shelf at the model railroad club, and I still got some spots to fill. Can you name all the classes on the shelf??? #modeltrain #modeltrains

Coasting down grade, a pair of Boston & Albany A-1b Berkshires #1440 and #1435 are well on their way to Selkirk. #modeltrains #modeltrain #modelrr #modelrailway

Not to be left behind the Hudson pulls ahead in the later stretch of the great race out of Chicago. K-4 is a sunset model owned by my friend @prrshepherd.bsky.social #modeltrain #modeltrains #modelrr

The race out of Chicago has started, only one will be victorious! The Hudson is owned by my friend @dagg3r-actual1-1.bsky.social #modeltrain #modeltrains

Figure I finally get around to posting this, happy #FursuitFriday ! Maker: @tiger.chungle.town

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. #modelrr #modeltrain #modeltrains #modelrailroad

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. #modeltrain #modeltrains

Hey all, Avid NYC/B&A/Rutland/O&W/B&M modeler here. Decided to show some photos off to #modeltrains / #modeltrain of locos from my HO collection. Most of my pieces are brass and a number have full lighting and DCC sound. Photos shown are shot with a Canon EOS R-10 32000 ISO - 35mm - f6.3 - 1/400s

About time, I dust off these models and take them for a run. Another locomotive from the electric collection, the PRR DD1, they're always a joy to run. #modeltrain #modeltrains

"Oh no, we may have a problem here." Just a little update/show on some model projects that I'm working on, more to come soon!! #modeltrain #modeltrains

I think it's time to start the New Year off right with my favorite Diesel Locomotive, the Baldwin RF-16. I just love the style, especially with the train phone. #modeltrain #modeltrains

Going to be MIA till the newyear! have a wonderful holidays yall!

Liz

Another quality DCC install finished, ready to hit the mainline . 👍 #modeltrain #modeltrains

Big Liz just doesn't care. Even if you back a whole train into it, Big Liz will just keep going unfazed. Club open house always goes so smooth, lol. #modeltrain #modeltrains

These are looking good. But damn are they a pain in the ass. Two more sides to go and then I can get onto the gold stripes

Easily one of my favorite freight cars to collect, the woodside billboard reefer. They always make for a colorful train.

If you ever want a rematch. The B6 will always be waiting and ready for another go!

Another one of my favorites from the brass collection. A HO scale NJCB PRR L5, one of the last jack shafts on the PRR. After a little tune up, it's a nice real nice runner.

One of my first ho scale brass projects I did myself start to finish. A NJCB PRR FF1, a monster of an early electric. See here pulling a string of club cars she's updated with the works. Still needs a few small details.

If youre in driving distance from Long Island NY, come see our open house! 3 weekends from Nov 29th through Dec 15th. Operate a train on our massive multi-level layout! Chat with members! We look forward to having you.
