Season's Greetings to all !!

Long Islanders are famous for such acts. When I was with AIL in Deer Park, there was also a dog that was "adopted" by the company personnel. When that dog passed away, it was buried on the front lawn of the main building. I believe AIL is not there any longer, but most probably the gravesi...

I have a video of the LIRR F-9's being used in dual mode. Electric in the tunnels, and sometime after coming out of the tunnel, in Queens, the diesel engine is started. This is done when the train is still moving. Fairly smooth operation, with no problems.

We went with trolleys and streetcars and hand bent curves, very tight. The trolleys took them really well. Really nice layout for the four wheel trolleys, and t...

Shouldn't have bothered it, given the results you mentioned. Until the new power pack arrives, use a battery to check things out.

Used to live in Far Rockaway, and the LIRR line going to it was always somewhat interesting. The really expensive homes along the route going through the five towns area always caught my interest and wonder if I ever could have such a home. Most of the time all you see is the back yard of someone's ...
