I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Can't believe we are in December now!

Postwar is still running the rails this holiday season -

Love the 2025. I wish there was an easy way to fix the pilot truck to make it a real Pacific. :D

Cool idea for a model railroad scene.

2025 has to be my favorite PW steamer. Surprised they didn't do a 4 wheel pony truck

Spur drive and the massive casting make for some nice coasting effects without flywheels or fancy electronics. Not a great puller but the Baldwin drivers are outstanding for a PostWar steamer.

Agreed. NS 9764 (in the last photo) sure looks like it's gonna take out the overhead signal!
