Hello everybody. I got a call from my sister yesterday and she asked me if I wanted the trains that she had in her attic. Well of course I jumped...
That's some outstanding modeling right there, and in N scale at that! I love those Athearn 2-8-0s and 2-6-0s. I have a few of the Model Power...

Not at the moment. But I'll will as soon as I finish building a module that I want to use for shooting outdoors.
I haven't taken any photos yet but my last new engines were two Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0s and one B'mann 4-8-2. As well as a "new to me" Con-Cor...
