Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

Great thread. When I was a kid I was a modeler. I had a 4x8 layout in N gauge. Enjoyed the hobby. Still have parts around my house somewhere. Tried to get my kids into the hobby when they were young. Could not compete with the Nintendo GameBoys. haha. Did the B&O train museum down in Baltimore and it was a great day to spend with all their exhibits. That Big Boy was quite the marvel of engineering. I searched for a N scale version back in the day.

And for the win, the building in the background is the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, built in 1928.

Thanks Stan, that rules out the B & O. It is probably the Florida East Coast Railway but it does not look like their logo. If you have driven to the Florida Keys you will have seen the remains of the FECRR built by Henry Flagler in the early 1900's. It was wiped out by a hurricane in the 1930 and never rebuilt. Some of the remaining structures are simply incredible in design and construction.
