Since i only have one, its gonna be my Santa FE GP40...lol

You can even post your favorite freight car if you have one..right now mine my 50 foot depressed center flat car with a transformer on hit but I'm hitting the trains store sometime this week and buying plenty of cars.

Alrighty, I'm firing this back up!!!

Same rules as Alex's cause his were better than mine.....have fun and lets hope and this one will strive like the two before it!!!!!

Here are the rules
1. One Contest May Run at a Time. Once a contest is finished anyone may post a picture.
2. Any Gauge and Country are Welcome.
3. Please only use photo's that are of public domain. When in doubt just post a link.
4. If a locomotive has not been named after 24 hours of its posting I will ask if the poster could please "Spill the Beans" so we may be able to move on. However, if there are many legitimate guesses it will stay until solved.
5. Have Fun!
I will start us off


OK I want railroad and locomotive type.......have fun everyone and remember first right guess gets to got next

( I edited the RR and #)

I thought that N scalers should have  place to show there layout, feel free to show off your layouts here, since i don't have one I'll just look and gather ideas of what N scale is capable of.

(Are there any Santa Fe N scalers out there)

Hey, i decided to make this thread for anything and everything related to you favorite railroad, or anyone in general. You can post fact, pictures or stories about the railroad its a free-for-all!!!

Did you know That Santa Fe's Amos and Andy were named after the TV show? (Thanks Alex)

Did you know Amos and Andy where later turned into this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ATSF_10.jpg

Did you know Santa Fe really isn't a fallen flag, they bought BN and int he contract decided to make one railroad BNSF.

Ok theres a lot of did you knows so Did you know......

The Santa FE Blue goose was scrapped because it was always dirty and no appealing?

The blue goose is not the Santa Fe's only streamlined engine the Valley Flyer was streamlined as well.

Santa Fe owned three ferry boats

The first diesel Santa Fe owned is still in existence

OK I'll stop now, but just have fun with it and remember Santa Fe ALL the way!!

I've been a HO modeler to a long time, but now since i have the funding i have decided to start in n scale. I need to find a nice set to start with and anything else i maybe need. Can you n scalers help me out with recommendations and such?

 bought one of your bachmann spectrum engines at a train show on Saturday and it doesn't run. To top of the fact that it does run when i was taking it out the box the whole front broke off the engine. I was wondering if bachmann could fix my locomotive. It is a limited edition Baldwin locomotive works 2-8-0.

I noticed a little while back the 4-8-4's were going dcc, i wasn't a Santa Fe fan back then, but i am now. It saddened me to notice there was no 3751 as a number choice, why is that bachmann?

I am looking into purchasing my first brass locomotive, the only problem is i need a little more information. Can you all help? Heres the rundown of the engine, its a ATSF class 3460  4-6-2 made by Tenshodo. It is a early run of the engine. It has a open frame motor and thats all i know, i have a picture, does anyone have anymore information? Thanks for any help.

Heres she is, pretty huh?

I am thinking about redoing my layout. It will be called the Santa Fe Alma District. it will be in steam and early diesel around 1943. It will be themed in Midwest to Kansas. the railroad is the good Ole' AT&SF. It will have a engine terminal. It will have daily branchline passenger. hourly local freight operations, most freight will be 10 to 12 cars long. How does this sound to you all?

What about your layouts?

Has anyone seen one of these before? I saw one on ebay and didn't notice who owned the engine till i looked it up again. Does anyone have any info about the real thing or the rivarossi one?

I forgot the name of that boat show, what happend to it? where did those boats go?

It saddens me that htere are no Santa FE doodlebug, what happend bachmann?

what is your favorite engine that your favorite railroad made? I know its a awkward questions but i thought it would be interesting to see what is your favorite one railroad prototype. Mine would be the CF7 or the U30CG, i love Santa Fe.

I know this is kind of off topic but i was wondering if anyone has a spectrum 0-6-0 the are selling? I check ebay and i didn't find any, so i thought i would ask here. The road don't matter, ATSF preferred, if they where made.....

I saw a brass box car that i might purchase but i was wondering if any of you know anything about it. It is a Nickel Plate Products Pennsylvania R.R. X-31b Single Door Box Car. Whoever owned it painted it Virginia & Truckee #67.
             Thanks for any help

How do those Santa Fe 4-8-4's with dcc on board run? I am thinking about getting one but i wanted to know how they run, it also troubles me there is no 3751. 

Some of you might remember my old post of my layout long ago. here are pictures of it now.
Comments are welcome so i can improve. this is a very bad camera i was using.

























Saved the best one for last...........



hope you like my work.

I recently purchased a bachmann spectrum 2-10-2 in C&IM livery. #603
