Lionel Train Layout 2023
Here is this past Christmas' Lionel layout setup. We start in the 80's, with a Conrail mixed freight behind the SD40-2, ans Amtrak passenger train behind a delightfully garish GG1 (no, seriously - Amtrak really painted a few up this way), and a local behind a not-yet-repainted EL GP9. Once we start swapping out trains, we have autoracks behind our SD40-2, a coal train behind the Lionel 736 Berkshire, and a short passenger train powered by my first locomotive ever, a Lionel 1060 train set engine.

Thomas And Percy
This one's for fun - my DCC'd Thomas and Percy, both by Hornby, on some different layouts. The first is being built by some friends, the second is my dad's Christmas layout, and the last is the Western Pennsylvania Model Railroad Museum's display in Gibsonia, PA.

NS Coal Train on Bald Eagle Branch
Here's an old, old video from 2009 filmed on a crappy point-n-shoot camera - the only thing I had handy at the time. Apologies for the potato quality. We follow an NS coal train up the Bald Eagle Branch, from just outside Tyrone, PA; to a crew change at Milesburg, PA near I-80. This was in the days when regular power for this job (as well as the helper assignments on Horseshoe Curve) was ex-Conrail SD40-2s.
