Welcome to Alpine Tunnel! My G scale display at the March show my club puts on is all set up. It depicts the west portal of the Alpine Tunnel on the C&S in the 1910’s

By the way the walthers model is 99% fat cow. It’ll pull 20 cars up a 4% grade no problem

GEVOs are so damn nice when you don’t have miserable railfans in your ear mumbling how terrible they are

Obligatory end of year photo with the GP30. Going on 5 years now, that’s crazy. First photo back in 2020 on the right, damn I got ugly

Even an earlier diesel locomotive is designed to run constantly between regular maintenance intervals. Once they got past that initial period in the yards you basically only ever saw them in the shop for their inspections or after major damage

It is antiquated based solely on the fact that we have found a better way to do it. A steam locomotive is nowhere near as capable as a modern locomotive

Maintenance, insanely terrible availability, incredibly expensive and requires tons of specialized parts, trades, and has to stop every 100 miles for a grease and lube. But yeah go off about horsepower I guess
