My SOTW is a lot of H0 scale Athearn Napa Valley coaches I got for Christmas a few years ago.

Nice set...I got to get a cab ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train back when I was on my honeymoon. After my wife and I rode the train we stuck around the platform to take some pictures and do some rail-fanning. I was taking pictures when a thunderstorm broke out and the crew in their MLW FP-4A took pity on me and offered to let me ride in the cab back to our car that was parked down by the engine house. Something I will never forget!

I believe there's an old saying that states that good things happen to good people.

How is this for a SOTW. This would make a great collection of models...it is the Dupont Safety train that I caught on film during the 90s.

Never knew that existed! Going to have to look that one up. Would definitely make a good project. I wonder if any company ever mad models of it?

That does look like something a model railroad company could make. Especially for a promotional set of some kind.

Finally found the rest of the pics...hope you enjoy them. By the way, how did you create the digital renditions of the cars that I posted and how did you make them so quickly?
