The modern engines are indeed beautiful in their own way. Truely works of modern engineering and design. It would be fun to see more of them in O Gauge form. I completely agree with you Adam. I would tear up my whole layout to make a track run for the Florida Brightline. Beautiful design, graphics and coolness!!!

Thank you Tom. Great pics. Thanks Wood. The pictures are of trains I am actually operating. I would see photographers along the right of way as I was running the train then I would go look for them a few days later on Rail net or Google, using the train number as a search. The pictures are of the same scheduled train just on different days. Different equipment every day! Joe, The ALP44s were good engines but short lived. The have a bunch of them stored on the old DL&W cutoff in Port Morris. The 4402 is one of them... The MTH ALP46s are nice engines too. It would be nice if MTH put out a new ALP44 to go along with them... and Multi-Level cars! Tom

There are so many electric locomotives out there, that can run off the overhead wire, you would think they would re-market their product... Tom

I have 4 MTH cantenary but I plan on using bridges on the layout. I have it in my head to (try and) make the Pennsy style cantenary one day but just for looks.

I have it in my head to (try and) make the Pennsy style cantenary one day but just for looks. I have read about o scalers building catenary using Marklin HO catenary wire. You would still need to come up with cat poles though. I may try that. Marklin catenary products are fairly cheap if you buy it used... Tom

Always like to see modern-day RR companies pay homage to the classic RR's of days (decades) gone by.

Brightline, now Virgin, is supposed to go through Vero Beach but many locals are fighting it. Brightline and FEC would make a fun layout.
