Got all my new locomotives on display now.

[dylanviey]

I decided to get all of my locomotives out of their boxes for display a few days back.

Looks good Dylanviey, I too like to display my units instead of making them box queens.

I think you have one too many P2K Geeps... perhaps I could give you a hand with that. ;D

Very nice!

The Reading stuff really makes your collection stand out! ;D

I do plan on selling that Seaboard and IC gp18's that are on the bottom shelf.

I need to get an updated shot with my newer locomotives and the ones that i correctly painted the hand rail on.

Now that the kind of display the wife says,"Why do you need so Many of those anyway?". And my locomotives would only fill up maybe two shelves. Nice variety, looks like you have a good noreastern going there.

Put me down as "very interested" in acquiring those GP18's!!

Now, see, that is why you always keep some locos in their boxes. If you have a layout, always stash some away in staging or in the roundhouse. Then you rotate the locos that are in boxes to the shelf and those in the shelf to boxes (or from staging/roundhouse to the engine track and vise versa) that way the wife sees each loco (but not all of them at once). Then, when you add a new unit to your roster you just stick it on the shelf (or layout) like it has always been there. If she asks you if one of them is new you just say "You haven't seen that before?" and she'll shrug it off... "Yeah,, I guess I have... I don't know" and walk away.

Or (as hard as this may be), you can just buy locomotives from only one railroad (GASP! Self-restraint!).... that way the wife/girlfriend can't tell the difference!

"Want to see my new engine, honey?"
"It looks exactly the same as all the other ones!"
"Why yes, yes it does......." ;D

LOL, exactly!

Nice collection of locomotives.

I'm putting them up on Ebay now. Hope you don't mind bidding. I recently totaled my truck so i need money for a new vehicle now.
