Iron Horsemen, I never knew what Fine Scale Miniatures was. I only heard of it once before your post.Sure you don't mean F.S.M. ? If so, that would be Fine Scale Miniatures. Very expensive reproductions of models built for George Sellios's Franklin & South Manchester model railroad. Ha Ha!, both are abbreviated FSM.
Good morning everyone. 31 and partly sunny.
The predicted storm is passing well south of here, in northern Arkansas. Looks like we dodged the bullet on this one. Had a nice fire in the fireplace anyway, more for ambiance than heat. That and hot cider always mellow me out!!
Willie - hope your area in north Texas didn't get too much snow or ice from this storm.
My wife's procedure ("reincision") went well, took about 20 minutes, and she was home before noon. And, yes, soup and sandwiches for lunch
She is recovering by Christmas shopping today - go figure. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes.
Did a little bit of landscaping and put down new roadway outside of the town of Pine Valley. Ran trains for a short while.
Have a good day everyone.
I don't think I ever saw one like that. I do have a Lionel B&O Hudson, but I don't think it looks like that. I'll have to find it and take it out of the box. After moving last year most of my stuff is still packed away in boxes.In with the pictures of the Garratt, was one that might be of interest to Louis, a Class V 4-6-4 B&O steamer

Ever see one, Louis?
Class V 4-6-4
The 4-6-4 wheel arrangement is best known on the New York Central, which designed the locomotive and came to own a sizable fleet of beautifully designed machines. The Baltimore & Ohio as it turns out, which is never really known for operating Hudsons, did utilize a small fleet for passenger service. They were listed as Class V and constructed by the railroad's own shop forces in Mount Clare during the mid-1930s. The locomotive's were equipped with a specialized firebox designed by a noted company engineer and were considered successful while in service. They remained on the B&O's roster until 1950 when all were retired and eventually scrapped.
Don't you love how winter storms are now named. You get Diego, 2 weeks ago we had Bruce.
I guess the very smooth boiler/firebox treatment shows it's passenger intent, almost British styling, with virtually all the pipes and valves etc, covered by an extra layer of steel cladding.I don't think I ever saw one like that.

Karl, I may very well be the world's worst model railroader when it comes to identifying locomotives. Thanks for filling in the blanks, great stuff!Good Morning gang!
27° and clear this morning. Getting ready to pick up GF and take her to breakfast. After 3 days with her grandkids, ages 2 & 4, she deserves a break. I visited yesterday for a few hours with the puppy, after which we both went home, had lunch and a nap!
Louis, being a Baltimore boy (and a B&O fan by birth) I'm shocked you didn't recognise the "Lord Baltimore" which was actually a 1 off. There was a similar loco, names the "Lady Baltimore" rebuilt from and Atlantic and assigned to the "Royal Blue"

With the clockwork boiler faces and the large fireboxes, they certainly looked different!
Terry, the snow looks pretty, keep it down there will ya?
After breakfast we'll be putting up the icicle lights and tree lights outside
