Dave I don't recall precisely - I think it was during 1994. Within a shortperiod of time Richard Hosker offered to host a mail server and that was the original"Freight Cars List" (FCL) that operated

I saw a nice video on firing locomotives (on YouTube) produced by a British railroad. Advice given was that a light gray smoke showed a good balance of fuel and air. The first half of the film seemed

Hi, Certainly a great video. The clean stack could also possibly be due to the fact that this may havebeen a light engine move. Claus Schlund

Very, very nice. Also very nice to see such a clean stack in the first half of the film. My guess is that is partly due to good firing and partly due to anthracite coal (assuming they are using

I just realized we forgot to mention STMFC's birthday - December 11th. We turned 17 years old this year! :-) It's amazing how much our world has changed in that short span of time... and the vast

A wonderful view of a very different world. The freight cars are classic. Thanks for sharing. Gary Laakso Northwest of Mike Brock

Hello all you 1920s modelers - Here's a link to a March 1929 movie (outtakes, really), with sound, about Lackawanna's new Pocono 4-8-4 freight locos. It provides an interesting look at lineside
