My SOTW is an unfinished Pecos Valley Southern Engine and Caboose set.
As near as I can figure these have been in the works for 12 years or so.

Starting late, aren't we? Nice SOTW though. I'm sorry, when I first posted this comment, I didn't look at the date close enough.

My set this we4ek, a Piko VT137 154 of the DR.
I think the prototype was around in Adolph's time, and is in Liepzig today.
This set was well used, some small bits missing, and remotored.

Crazy Kool. I worked at Reeves County Detention Center and
used to gaze up Pecos Valley Southern everytime I went to the
Burritio Depot.
That Piko piece: I want to shrink down to 1/87 and take a
ride. The center motor car, double ends, and the diaphrams
are the toast. Purple and cream? I want to taste it!

Think I should add some Atlantic Coast Line cars?
The colurs almost right.
I must make some sideframes for the center section one day.

That would look bizarre in my opinion.
