Hi Guys!

I have just received some restored locomotives from a friend of mine in VA. He restored them for me and has done a fantastic job as far as I am concerned. I figured I would share them with you all:

First:

HOn3 4-6-0 Brass 10-Wheeler Southern Pacific No. 9 Locomotive by United Models:

Pre Restoration:

This is the folder of the pre & post pictures that I have. Brian's camera broke with this round, so there are no during pictures for any of them.

Three more different HO brass geared logging locomotives to follow soon:

Also being restored is a brass powered MEW logging crane. I have no pre-restoration photos of it.

The Challenger shown in the picture above was what was used as payment / trade for all the posted here-in restorations.

THANKS MAN!

I only wish I can take credit for it. The most credit I can take is of being the facilitator. I traded a D&RGW 2-6-6-2 (I think) for the restoration. It needed a total restoration as well and was missing the tender,
