I love this set as much as any I have; it is dubbed "Ol' Smoky" for obvious reasons:
(Oh, spot the traction tire that got spun off one of the units, which I only noticed after taking this photo.)
Equally obvious, the coal turbine is not a passenger engine. I am still working on the below setup to get it to match more closely the Prairie Cruise Liner that is the prototype, which is now a museum piece although at least the A units are still part of the UP Heritage Fleet:

More YELLOW as in the UP corner of my display (there's #80 again, in part) and a snapshot of the operating scale beacon I added to #949 of the E9/8 A-B-A set as part of the ongoing project on it:

BCC,
Yes, it’s a B&A K-line 4-6-6T.
Eastern Depot had a stack of them brand new for $400 at York in April. It’s been on the upper loop 0-57 track ever since.
I love it, it looks good with traditional or scale rolling stock, has TMCC and lots of other features. Check them out next week, they might have some left. I think they had them in both B&A and NYC.

Here is an example of inspirational photography - taken not by me but Emile The BCC. I liked this photo so much that I ended up getting one of these UP 44 tonners:
In the not so inspirational category are my attempts to capture a couple of fine UP models from yesteryear, a K-Line aluminum tank car and the TMCC Veranda Turbine:
