My LOTW is this "Chattanooga" 0-8-0. She runs good with a bit of wheel slippage, but that's to be expected. As she runs, I'm sure it'll get better. Got this, the COTW, Loco for SOTW and BOTW for $20.00.
Biggest thing is the Smokebox front. Anyone have a spare?

Got this 630 to replace the one that fell out of the rear hatch of the car transporting boxes of my Tyco stuff...

"Pardon me boys, but is that the Chatanooga Choo Choo?" (You must have seen that one coming).
Fell out of the back of your car??? Ahem, well yes, I got this Uboat some years back when I
first wandered into the TF, and some kindly fellow sent this out to me seeing how much I
enjoy the Penn Central. Left it in the trunk of my car, it was only 80 degrees out that day,
and it and an assortment of Tyco passenger coaches and a few freights melted like chocolate .
I was lucky not to have ruined more. Anyways, made me mad as a hop,
so I had to go out and find an undecorated Uboat shell (my good fortune they all come in
black) and re-lettered this one, down to the original numbers.

lol, nahh, that's how I got it (sans boiler front) - Couldn't pass it up though. Nice U-boat! I actually determined the wheel slippage was due to a cracked centre gear axle. Swapped it out for a solid one and she's running great. Now to fix that boiler front...
