Heres the week's LOTW. I got my Super 630 going again. Maybe we'll have a whole week of Super 630's like last week with all the GP20's? Well...heres mine!Got it at a trainstore for $5 becuase it didn't run. The motor was burnt up bad.

My LOTW is the J.W. Bowker. This is the version with the motor in the tender. Runs nice and it appears often at Christmas pulling a train around the tree.

Since I don't own a Super 630, I'll have to do something else. Anyway, here's a $2 engine I got at a Winchester, VA train show a year ago. Missing the front axles and cover, need to find some AHM / Mehano replacement parts. But I like it, nice FP45 that needs some time in the shop for some repairs.
