Who looks like a model railroader in a hobby shop with unlimited spending?

Just as well I had a second look and a bit of a google before I came across as a right pillock because looking at that tractor I thought Ford???, Rubbish!! thats a Ferguson TEA, I should know as my Grandad had one, which was what i learnt to drive on at a early age.
I was told by an old friend and boss that if you didn't learn something new each day then you had wasted that day, so thanks Bruce , I've learnt something new. Big Grin
So from a scene of one of the late Hans Hubners modules, a different type of horse power, 2 to be precise.

JaBear,

Likewise, depending on how you paint it, its could be either the Ford, Ferguson or Massey Ferguson.

Our excursion train waiting for PT-90 to pass earlier today at the Delaware Water Gap.
   

We made the cover of Railroads Illustrated, as seen from the cab of the same locomotive.
   

A runaway that ended up in the woods along the Pocono main.    

664 and 514 help to move our FA-2 over to the diesel shop so that restoration can begin.

Niagara Peninsula 918 rolls through Port Maitland with a short train of holiday-goers on their way to the beach and amusement park at Lowbanks:

Later on, at Lowbanks, the train's crew has sought refuge from the now hot overhead sun. Meanwhile, 918 simmers quietly, only the intermittent throb of her air pump breaking the noontime calm:

Even Barney Secord, back from a recent short vacation, managed to grab a picture:
