Country:  | I have to agree with with syscom3. I've never really liked the streamlined engines either. It kind of takes away from the "Brute" image. I mean a steam engine is all muscle, no B.S., get the job done, hunker down and haulin' freight. The streamlines were made more "eye pleasing" for passenger service and eventhough they were great engines and hauled a*s they just weren't the same.

| Trackend, keep those pics of British trains coming.
I'm interested in the MOW and freight cars, if you have any, or can take some shots of.

Having a dad, his dad working for the railroad and my dad's cousin doing the same in the '20 and 30's in B.C Canada, I've got this in me blood...especially US railroads, steam and early diesel....but you already knew that.. Quote:
