Day 1 of 25 Days of Christmas! MTH Premier CSX Dash-8 narrow nose (C40-8)

Decided this year to do 25 days of Christmas. Each day highlighting an engine of my collection with y’all! Spread some holiday cheer plus give some insight to why I have what I have in my collection!
Day 1: MTH Premier CSX c40-8. This was actually the first premier engine I purchased!
I grew up near the CSX mainline and I would ride my bike to town and see these engines and others from the early 2000s era going by. So naturally I had to have one!
Hope you enjoy!

Thank you.

Great vstart to the 25 days TJ. The brewery is working hard I see the stack smoking. Yio=our layout is really looking good man. Great idea.

[@TJsModelTrains]

Thanks Bob! I appreciate that, the brewery is definitely one of the cooler features. Not super flashy but it does give some character!

[@CWFTrains]

Cool backstory on the engine. There’s always something about our home railroads that stick with us!

[@TJsModelTrains]

Thank you! Yes it always seems to show back up in our adult life!

Funny enough I’ve wanted a boring black NS narrow nose since I was a kid. This may be my push for 2023 to pick one up…

[@TJsModelTrains]

By far my favorite engine ever.

Cool

[@TJsModelTrains]

Thank you!

I’m guessing you mostly run MTH equipment? If so, your rolling stock looks fantastic. The CSX is a great addition too

[@TJsModelTrains]

Yes, I have 90% MTH engines. I have a one engine with TMCC and a few conventional locomotives.

@@TJsModelTrains sweet, I can’t wait to see them one day
