The Locomotive thread.

We have threads for cars, bikes and planes so why not a thread specifically for the train enthusiasts?

I will start with the beautiful Duchess of Hamilton.

Always loved the EMD F-series, with their V16 two-stroke diesels:

A couple of my favorites:





I wanted to get a "Big Boy" for a backyard layout, but a $15K locomotive wasn't in the budget. I just content myself with putting my LGB setup around the Christmas Tree.

Some people may not know this, but Walt Disney had a love for trains.

So much so, - he built his own miniature at the studio, and eventually moved it to his backyard. He gave frequent rides to his children and guests on it. Here he is on the Lilly Belle (named after his wife):

And here in Colorado the Durango/Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad train winds through some of the most scenic views in all of Colorado and has been in operation for 140 years. It is so named because the train tracks are only 3 feet wide. We've taken trips in both summer and winter and it leaves you breathless each time:
