Model Train Journal

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

Postwar is still running the rails this holiday season -



















Giovanna enjoying the trains





UP SD70M 5714 leads 201 through Arcadia, VA w/ Fall foliage still not making too much of a showing on the mountains


NS SD70ACe 1090 leads 159 through Reidsville, NC on the Danville District


A trio of NS GE motors hustle 820 through Vinton, VA on the old Virginian main line. Seen from the Blue Ridge Parkway


UP AC44CW 6750 leads a southbound freight through Austell, GA on the NS Atlanta North District


NS SD70ACe 1121 leads 217 through Elliston , VA on the Christiansburg District


The cab of NS Dash-9 8888 rests in Cresson Steel after being removed during the rebuild process to AC44C6M 4056


Amtrak P42 94 leads the Pennsylvania out of Johnstown, PA on the NS Pittsburgh Line


NS Dash-9 9764 leads 052 under the PRR signals at Tipton, PA

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

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!
