GREAT PHOTOS MIKE! THANK YOU. A NEWBIE QUESTION. THE BACKGROUND, IS THAT A WALLPAPER BOUGHT LIKE THAT OR A SERIES OF PICS ENLARGED? THANKS
The background on the sky board is from "Backdropwharehouse" They make them from actual photos they take. Go to there site they have many types to choose from. link http://www.backdropwarehouse.com/ Mike
Nicely done! We don't see too many Katy engines in scale (outside of Paul Cassar's excellent N scale models), and yours are nice! Never thought I'd admit to missing the John Deere colors.
Thanks Bob I live along the old MKT main line to Houston. The one thats not there anymore. But I grew up along the line and remember these engines. The light mikes are reworked Athearn mikados with Hallmark tenders. The Katy green are heavy reworked Athearn SD-40's not much left of Athearn in them. Just the cassis and some of the shell. Those 3 units pulled 110 cars at a train show with no problem. The F-3's are the new Athearn Genisis units. The "Texas Special" is hallmark brass. Mike
When I'm not in New England freezing my butt off, I make my residence in Sherman, just south of Denison. Happily, the KAty depot and office buildings are still standing- sadly, nothing remains of the car shops, or of the east end of Ray Yard. DGNO swaps cars and a unit rock train out at Denison with UP, and about 16 freights roll thru Ray Yard daily. Didn't take Borgrail long to assimilate the Katy.....
