I am being dragged, kicking and screaming into the modern era. At the 18th Annual Southern Plains N-Scale Convention in Oklahoma City last week I won this locomotive in the raffle at the banquet on Saturday night. I will add it to my collection of raffle and door prize locomotives that do not belong to any era or railroads that I model. I guess I could use it to pull some UP passenger cars and call it a business train. I put a decoder into it so I can run it on convention layouts with all the other mishmash of random trains.
What a shame! A nice steamer would be a much more suitable giveaway! You can always sell it for something decent....LOL... A shame to give that stuff to someone who can't use it! I'm a steamer...
New project...going to built an AT&SF woodchip car. Theywere made from Santa Fe drop bottom gons butthey had corrigated sides. going to use a Tainworx gon. Never seen one of these in N Scale
Argh. It's an evil plot. Be careful. Some day you might awaken to finding yourself scrapping all your steam.....
Rio Grande L-131 2-8-8-2 #3612 taking the house track at Wagon Wheel Gap with an eastbound freight. Tom
That is a nice looking shot of BIG steam...and even on a curve that doesn't make it look silly. Nice power, and a great shot!
I don't have any cars finished this week yet, but here are some pictures of my NKP Athearn GP9's operating on the Strongsville Society of Model Railroad Engineers layout in Strongsville, OH. The club will be open along with the Strongsville Historical Society this weekend from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. Thanks for looking! Rick J
Aye, Tom knoweth how to strut his stuff. I don't mind one little bit. :teeth: Here is a New York Central Niagara S1b bringing it home.
