Loving every minute of it!


Yeah, although I'm very interested in what appears to be a rusted out bus/trolley or something behind the lights :drool:


:shock: Wash your mouth out. :glare: That's an EMD "bulldog" locomotive cab (think of the F7). :cool:
In this case, from an Australian-built double-ended version known as a 'B' class. 26 were built from 1952 and mine was road-number B 67. Which explains my ID here. :grin:

Here's what they originally looked like in service. Most of them are actually still in regular service. About half were rebuilt, the others are still basically as built. B 67 is one of only a few that were scrapped in the 1980s.

I suppose it is robbed of much of its impressive bulk by having no wheels to sit on - oh, and the small matter of the main part of the body having been scrapped. So it does look a little small I suppose.

It will no doubt look much more impressive if I ever get around to restoring it. :sad:

Nice traffic signals you have there.


I also like that Eagle E/M signal controller you have. I recently saw several pictures of it on your website. It's different when compared to an American E/M signal controller.

The cabinet kind of resembles a Marbelite cabinet, for that it somewhat shares the same designs and features.

I'm with this guy. I'm thinking when the light turns green how fast can the train get from 0-60? :shock:
