As if the bulb on one of 382's marker lights snapping wasn't bad enough now I lost one of them. FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Meaning once I disassemble 382, it will run with blind marker lights like on the Hallmark brass H-3a Pacifics. A heavy price for moving the marker lights up and finishing this.

Man The downfall of Lionel needs to be studied WHAT IS THIS😭😭😭

Two things I have learned today 1. Chicago Burlington & Quincy 9908 lasted in service until 1966 2. 4960 looks amazing with white walls Based

HOLY SHIT🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 M-K-T M-K-T M-K-T

Apparently Washington & Lincoln 203 is back running I love her! Lindy looks so pretty with the white walls they gave her!🥹 The whistle she's currently wearing sounds like one of the 3 chimes from dollywood.

Lionel is making ai videos of their christmas lionchief train set. Modern Lionel is officially the coca-cola of o gauge Chang my mind

Fun fact The Missouri Kansas Texas had G.A.R.X. 36ft wood reefers

Chicago Burlington & Quincy 4-6-2 Pacific 2830 with bi-level cars on a commuter train at the Downers Grove coach yard in Illinois in the year 1952. So just like the C&NW, CB&Q light pacifics pulled bi-level cars.

In the business we call this "foreshadowing"

And this is why the only things I will ever buy from Lionel are: •1970s and 1980s standard O freight cars •1992 Southern 4501 •MPC Scale Hudsons •Lionchief M-K-T Mikado 851 •2000s to 2010s freight cars •80 or 180watt Transformer •fast track •Maybe Lionel American Flyer stuff IF I had the money

THERE IT IS 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I was not aware @metalheadrailfan.bsky.social drew these! :D They look amazing! You did a really nice job on them!!😎👍

The new Lionel Chicago & Alton 4-4-2 Atlantic from Ericstrains in comparison to a C&A Pacific in its early years with the exact paint scheme. Unfortunately, I could not find any of their 4-4-2s with that scheme. It's a damn good paint scheme for an SP Atlantic!

Chicago & Northwestern E-2/E-2a 2908 One of the forgotten Alco Pacifics that pulled The Twin Cities 400 at over 100mph, and among the only steam locomotives on the Chicago & Northwestern that burned oil at one point. It's most known for having dual air horns and the signature sky marslight

Fun fact: Lionel painted an O Gauge model of the black beetle in Rock Island colors Now THAT is the rocket

Should the Age of Steam Roundhouse temporarily disguise Canadian Pacific 1293 as the 1881 in Terror Train 1980? This year does mark the 45th anniversary of the film's release in 1980. 1293 was the locomotive used in the filming in Vermont in 1979.

THEY WHAT

The entire Missouri-Kansas-Texas collection 60 years of the Katy, 1920 to 1980

Lionel, there is no excuse to mess up a Missouri Kansas Texas locomotive of the same class (The C-1-a class 0-8-0s were numbered 39 to 58) Not once Not twice But THREE TIMES

And now for something completely different It's a 1:24 scale model of the 2021 Motorsport BMW M4 GT3

CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN E-S PACIFICS MENTIONED During their final years of service in the 1950s, these engines could be seen pulling the new green and yellow gallery cars. Locomotives such as 626 and 614 used them on fantrips.

Missouri Kansas Texas 382 pulling the new and rare Atlas double door 40ft with the Atlas 53'6" general american express reefer. Another major milestone for my O Scale fleet has been reached after two years of searching.

@rallyrabbit.bsky.social @midkitz.bsky.social Drawing for Trans Canada Limited Took a bit while drawing in Illustrator, but I like how She turned out!! :D I didn't draw this as fan, I drew it as a friend. No matter how rough life gets, you'll always have friends to help cheer you both up.😊👍

Making some art for one of my friends :D

IT JUST ARRIVED🤩🤩🤩

I FINALLY FOUND ONE FOR SALE🤩

This is the Vulcan 50 ton duplex What is crazy is the fact there are ho scale brass models of this engine

There are times I never take Lionel seriously, this is once again one if those times WHO is spending $5000 on a set???? Genuinely praying this flops plz it'd be so fucking funny🙏

Suddenly F3s :D

Fun fact: Florida East Coast light pacifics are massive up close I went to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum yesterday and got to see alot of cool stuff :D

Burlington Route E9 Bottom Text

Today wasn't just my birthday, it was the 60th anniversary of the last run of my favorite passenger train, The Texas Special on the Katy in 1965. In the last minutes of July 1st 2025, we celebrate and we cherish the memory of one of America's finest passenger trains.

"Every year, on my birthday"

Tomorrow is my 20th birthday and the 60ft anniversary of the last run of The Texas Special on the Katy. Hope you guys wish me a happy birthday 😊

Just got an Atlas General American 53'6" express reefer in Missouri Kansas Texas lettering! The car is numbered 1313 and it arrived on friday the 13th Ironically, it's very lucky because it just fits with my Williams 60ft madison cars It also works fine on O36 curves and looks very nice with 382

@midkitz.bsky.social HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIE 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Made a drawing for Jackie :D @midkitz.bsky.social @rallyrabbit.bsky.social Also, this took me over half an hour (9:50est to 10:37est) to do because I drew this on my phone with my thumbs.💀 No, that is not a joke. Yes, it was worth it. I think it turned out pretty good🙂👍

If you see this, post a vehicle

Missouri Kansas Texas railroad anomaly (as far as I know due to very little information) This is Pacific 97, a very early 4-6-2 on the M-K-T. If I had to guess judging by its design, it's possibly an early H-1 or H-2a or H-2b light pacific. I couldn't find this engine on any official M-K-T roster

@thegreatjaxie.bsky.social I saw George at the model railroad today! The Broadway 2101 is a really shiny engine

Chat I found a thing in Orlando :D This is a B52D stratofortress built in 1956.

Qoute with your fanart! #MKTrailroad #railroadart

382 with a short local freight :D I'm really proud to have this engine

Apparently someone at the model railroad near me has a model of this B&O mikado in storage. This was the last B&O steam locomotive running in May of 1958 421 was a usra light mikado

Saw a model of 1218 with white walls recently and even a model of the last Y6b 2200.

I finally found a colored photo of one of the two Rock Island M50 class mountains with the short lived red paint scheme from around 1945. Two engines, 4047 and 4055 here were painted like this. 4055 burned coal, while 4047 burned oil.

The compressed S class This is a Milwaukee Road L-3 mikado, but this particular engine #341 has a marslight and a 6 axle tender. I think it's a usra heavy mikado.

Can Frisco and M-K-T fans not get screwed over by lack of demand for once It's probably why MTH canceled these. We almost got good semi scale Frisco passenger cars for once...

Broadway made all those SP&S and NP 4-8-4s, yet we still don't have Spokane Portland & Seattle 700 as Northern Pacific 2668 Obscure fact: 700 was disguised as a Northern Pacific A-3 in 1992, specifically the next member if production continued. Last one was 2667, so 700 was disguised as "2668"
