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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Pr...ss_of_Hamilton |

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.

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.
