Behold and bees upon you
Round and round we go
There are some of you who know I am into trains.
More specifically I'm into the long dead railroad Erie Lakawana which ran from Chicago to Hoboken and had an engine shop in Marion Ohio.
Behold my newest acquisition, a model of an Alco PA1 in the Erie Lakawana paint scheme.
Its that time again when I post new train
"The year is 1971. You're running what was once a streamline passenger locomotive built in the late 40s. Your mainline no longer does passenger runs, and you've been thrown into hauling freight on your dying railroad. This locomotive, considered a beautiful work of passenger art designed by someone who made toasters for GE, is now retired as an old workhorse hauling boxcars."
There is historical truth to the ELW running Alco PAs in freight service. Why scrap a locomotive when you already are nearly broke. Press it into service.
The engine yard for most of these was actually in Marion Ohio.
You seem to all enjoy tiny train.
Models are for the queers
