Well Superintendent of motive power on the Catford branch of the mighty PGW, your passenger train look just fine to me. Keep you tenders loaded and your fires burning hot. Keep up the good work.

Hi catfordken,
These are some great trains you are showing. I really like the RI set.
The military set is a nice touch.
AH! some day I will have a MB set.
Thanks for sharing.

What a Memorial Day parade, Ken. I love the MOW train, the old-timey Aristo Craft 0-4-0, the Mogul, and that GN loco is a beaut! Must be brass, but what manufacturer?
