Vintage NIB AHM Old Timer. Unusual 2-4-0 arrangement
with motor in cab, not tender. Runs like a champ. See it drag
race a Tyco GG1 in the link below. Sorry, video is a bit lengthy,
but includes different scenic views.

 You guys have some pretty sweet stuff to show as always. I do want to get my hand on one of those Bowker 2-4-0s one day and I see them all the time at train shows. Usually in their boxes for a decent price.Anyway, my LOTW is an N scale Southern Pacific dummy loco they sold from a magazine in the 90s which I got in a lot of N scale stuff.

MY LOTW could double as my SOTW - my ABBA NS Executive train set. The first two are powered, a couple of Bachmanns - the B is a Bachmann Plus. The third and fourth are Athearns and are unpowered. I painted and decaled the Bachmann B unit since I couldn't find one in NS colors.
Still have to do some more detail work and add ditch lights to the Athearn.

Nice Varney tank, Erich. Especially when it still has the valve gear kit.
