Hi Ken : Did John , EM-1 ogle you F3a yet. He will defiantly smile when he see it.
* I was able to get a ATT 0-4-0 brass loco to get the one in the Old time passenger set complete and running. The body and drive is identical. details differ. This one has more details. The steam and sand domes are of a much older style. So is the smoke stack. No bell for some reason. It has feed water piping and a compressor. It has a different tender. What I need for a good loco for the set is there. And it runs. I'm just going to put the front pilot on it and add it to the set. It will be of the same manufacture as but nicer than the original. It will sit in the set with the 3 passenger cars under my layout in its box. I have no other plains for it then a OH! and Ahhh, train talk piece. Still need a brown end platform for one of the Passenger cars. It is missing.
* I also picked up a Roundhouse 1975 catalog, and I have a Greenberg Marx book coming in soon soon. It is listed as having all the HO info in it. I'll be able to know a little more about Marx HO trains.

That becomes a spare small brass tender. I thoughe it was from a general. Not the tender the log load Ken spoke of. I never seen that tender before. Or maybe I have but not looking like that.

Ken, is there supposed to be a flywheel on the back of that 0-6-0 motor? 
Frank, the 0-4-0 looks good. Were you able to straighten the frame?
