Re: LIRR RS3 Design

 by LINYARailfan ¦  Thu Feb 25, 2021 8:51 am ¦  Forum: Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) ¦  Topic: LIRR RS3 Design ¦  Replies: 9 ¦  Views: 1891

MTH is still in business. All items delivered after May 2021 will have a one year warranty after that. Its a shame that after all these years one of the greatest model railroading manufacturers is closing down. Hopefully a new future awaits and the legacy of mth trains will continue through a new co...

Re: Markers on PR-20B

Markers are not really needed in freight as the engines do not trail often. It's funny half of the times I see RS-70 in Riverhead it's double-ended, the other half they do the runaround at LD siding with the 2 units together - but I don't see it that often. I assume it's just crew preference. Marke...

According to the original plans on a modernli, the Main Street Crossing isn't scheduled to be eliminated until February 2021. I would think that t...

There is also an abandoned rail spur with three abandoned boxcars in New Hyde Park next to the Oil Terminal. Anyone know what will happen to these boxcars and if these spurs could be restored?

Current status of NYA MP15AC 155?

What is the latest on the status of the 155? I remember hearing that 155 was sent out to Altoona PA for rebuild back in July 2018 but I haven't heard on any time frame as to when the rebuild will be complete and the 155 returning back to Long Island?

Passed by there on a Penn-bound train last week, and saw the spurs were empty and rusted. Did that customer opt to go with trucks instead, or go out of business???? Thanks. Passed by there on the train earlier this afternoon. Siding is empty but switch is still connected and intact. I am not sure i...
