## Layouts

**Chris and Marlene Rohlfing:** O gauge + standard gauge. Both former members of the TCA, the Rohlfings show their extensive collection of Lionel Pieces and show their layout filled with action.

**Seth Giem/Toy Train Barn:** O gauge. Built from the barn his grandfather purchased in 1889, Giem uses his layout to showcase his scratch-built structures, as Giem is a bigger fan of building structures than running trains. Though we do see several trains run on his layout. Includes massive suspension bridge and canyon.

**Glen Pinta:** O gauge. A sweet story. Pinta was diagnosed with cancer during the building of his layout. Pinta used his trains throughout his procedure to keep himself busy and in the right state of mind. Now that he's cancer free, Pinta shows off his currently in process layout.

Jupiter

**Central Pacific No. 60**, named ***Jupiter***, is a 4-4-0 American steam locomotive. It was built by the Schenectady Locomotive Works of New York in September 1868, along with Whirlwind, Leviathan, and Storm. This particular locomotive famous for it's role in the "Golden Spike Run" celebrating the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad. The locomotive was originally designed to burn wood, which was the reason for it's distinctive funnel which contained a spark arrestor.

## History

The Jupiter was built in 1868 by the Schenectady Locomotive Works in New York. Famed for being the locomotive that finished the "Golden Spike Run" heading east to meet UP #119 at the Golden Spike. The locomotives slowly advanced until the two locomotive's cowcatchers met. However Jupiter was not the intended locomotive to pull the train to the golden spike, the locomotive originally intended to pull the train hit a log rolled onto the tracks by railroad employees so the Golden Spike consist was added to Jupiter's train. Sadly the historical significance of this locomotive was not realized until decades after its scrapping in 1909. However, by then, Jupiter had been unrecognizably altered.

In 1979, for the anniversary of the run, a replica was built by O'Connor Engineering of Mesa Verde, California for the Golden Spike National Historic Site in Promontory Point, Utah. It is operable, but not for excursions of any kind; the replica only operates on demonstration runs.

MTH release this locomotive in 2002.

New York Central M-497

New York Central M-497 was an experimental jet-powered railcar test bed of the New York Central Railroad, developed and tested in 1966 in the United States. Two second-hand General Electric J47-19 jet engines, originally used as boosters for the Convair B-36 Peacemaker intercontinental bomber, were mounted atop an existing Budd Rail Diesel Car, an RDC-3 of coach and baggage-mail configuration which had received a streamlined front cowling. The construct was then successfully sent on test runs over the existing tracks between Butler, Indiana, and Stryker, Ohio. The line had been chosen for its arrow-straight layout and good condition, but otherwise unmodified track. On July 23, 1966, the car reached a speed of 183.68 mph (295.6 km/h), an American rail speed record that still stands today.

Even with this spectacular performance, and even though it had been built relatively cheaply, using existing parts, the project was not considered viable commercially. The railroad gathered valuable test data regarding the stresses of high-speed rail travel on conventional equipment and tracks then existing in America. The data was largely ignored, as the NYC was headed for merger with its arch rival Pennsylvania Railroad. The Pennsy was already heavily involved in the Metroliner project, funded by the United States Department of Transportation.

M-497 continued to serve for Penn Central after the jet engines were removed until retirement by Conrail in 1977. Engines were re-used as X29493, an experimental snow blower. Like most similar jet engine blowers, it was effective at clearing snow and ice but also tended to dislodge the ballast.

Soon afterwards it was scrapped in 1984.

Lionel released this locomotive in 2010.
Southern 2356

Southern 2356 is an F3 it was being the first of these issues that Lionel would release an A and B unit in the same year in 1954.
