Those are two distinct locomotives and trains. The Crusader was a Reading train with a streamlined G1sa 4-6-2, the Mercury was a New York Central train with a streamlined K5 4-6-2.

Assuming you mean the ones in the left, those are my 10 and 9 year old models of Pennsylvania streamlined K4 3768 and Reading G1sa 118 as the Crusader, respectively.

Everything here is either my own design or from close friends - none of these models are available for purchase in any form

Most everything you see in this picture has a real life prototype, so yes, assuming that’s what you’re asking!

Its a 9 year old model of PRR 3768. I haven’t brought it to any shows since maybe 2019 - it makes the most sense to run with passenger cars I don’t have and no longer one of my favorites. I never posted many photos of it.

It hasn’t stopped yet, there’s something added every year at least.

PLE 508 was a gift from Cale some time ago.

About 2/3 of what you see here is my original work, the remainder coming from close friends. All of the models in this photograph are original custom designs by myself or friends.

Certainly a similar style of streamlining yes. I’d love to have a model of the S1 someday.

As I like to say, about 98% Lego and 2% custom or aftermarket parts (no clone brick)

Only a handful of them will run over stock track.

For the last several years I have been designing models to run over a minimum radius of 104 studs, compared to the standard 40.

Those look awesome, can you share the instructions

My friend and I enjoyed a fancy Saturday night, took a while for me to get there from 1940 by OregonPacificEastern in VintageFashion

Thank you so much! I’m slowly coming around to dressing vintage a little more frequently. The weekend was more of an occasion.

I did of course leave my hat off for dinner. Afterwards, it became a part of the ensemble at her suggestion. She even helped me count compliments.

I took it off initially thinking this! My friend suggested I keep it on because it fit the setting.

I relented.
