Hey Dave, remember these gems from our late friend, Bill Morlitz? He loved teasing you about your affection for the UP!
The UP Flyer
Lightweight UP Engine
I also still have the email you sent me inviting me to your layout Open House back in February 2005! Great memories!
Hope you're doing well. We have to catch up!

Here's some classic Lionel and K-Line "Onion Pacific" (see Gary's colorful post above). First, the Veranda Turbine, a true die cast diesel stump puller:K-Line did this "Survivors" caboose way back when; I think it was a custom run for The Train Loft in NC: Speaking of custom runs, Mr Muffin is doing a Lionel E9 pair of a classic streamliner set, UP #949 and #951:These have seen service in Excursion runs like this one in 2017, where they look totally stately. (Best part of the video starts about 30 secs. in.)

(Best part of the video starts about 30 secs. in.) I don’t mean to be a stickler for detail. But actually, rather than UP’s Veranda Turbine being a “. . . diesel stump puller,” it was actually a bunker B fuel stump puller. The turbine was actually powered by bunker B fuel, which was carried in that yellow tender behind it. Diesel fuel contained in a smaller tank, was used only to start the loud turbine and bring it up to speed, after which the heavier bunker B fuel kicked in, giving it its full “stump puller” power.
