That's the ex New Haven RDC "Roger Williams".  Built with the nose.

Isn't it amazing how really shabby VHS was?  It almost makes you pine for Super 8!

Yeah, it makes me sad that almost all the footage of my main era sucks, and is getting worse by the year.

Pre-VHS film can always be remastered (and result in HD quality), and modern video is now getting shot in HD, but there's a span of 20 years there where quality just sucks.

I guess the good news is there's no shortage of it.  Those old handi (and some not so handi) cams were EVERYWHERE...

Yeah, I'm going to have to dig up the footage my dad shot for my fifth birthday.  We took a ride on one of 611's last excursions.

I found out why amtrak can't make money. They keep moving stuff back and forth  ;D

What's with the Amcan/RDC looking thing?

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.
