RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted May 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2012 My other half has the Roanoke live webcam on the living room PC when ever it is switch on. She is a big fan of NS . WIth all these new liveries, she is keen for me to buy the Fox valley models of these heritage locos - looks like I am going to have to do a NS layout at some point and also pay a visit to the ohtle at Raonoke!!

trisonic Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Roanoke is always worth a visit - just to see the GG-1 and the vast electric Virginian locomotive there at the Museum. Apart from railroad stuff there are other collections like Taxi's. When I was there I sat in an old NW caboose and just watched the NS trains go by... Best, Pete.

Habit of putting <> around links to keep them intact in emails...doesn't work here. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=396487&nseq=14 should work.

pH Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 http://www.railpictu...=396487&nseq=14 should work. There is a topic on here somewhere (I couldn't find it) about photographing prototype trains to look like models. I think that picture would definitely fit in that topic!

trisonic Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 It's just for fun and I'll invite the UK modellers to take a look too - they are always moaning about the lack of diesels in the UK! My favourite so far, just, is the (old) Norfolk Southern. Some others that I didn't like so much are growing on me though.... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Yes, they do. However the USA is a great place for photos of T-Storms. At present we get them every afternoon - you can almost set your watch by them. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigZ Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 All the Heritage engines will be at the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina on July 3rd and 4th. NS has said this may be the only time they're all together in one place. The NCTM has kindly offered to allow the historical society for each engine to set up a table in the roundhouse...as a trustee of the Penn Central RRHS I'm planning to be there. Might even take a photo or two... By the way, the NCTM facility was the Southern Rwy's Spencer Shops. Southern or NS (forget which) gave the site to the State of North Carolina...and the state has done a bang up job turning it into an excellent museum. Not quite up to the standards of York, but still pretty darn good... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supaned Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think that last post just illustrates how much NS actually seems to "care" about these locos and getting it right - an approach to be applauded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
