I don't know the brass K-27's and K-36's, but I've seen the real ones in action and they're solid work horses. Day after day, they run in mountain railroading and go on and on for years.

Another classic I've been after for years. A PSC Thomas Flyer rail car. It's a reissue of the original one by Kemtron except now it's RTR, painted and has a can motor.

Tenshodo Big Boy. Can't remember what year run it is. It's a F/P run and has new gear boxes and a Canon Motor now. Runs real sweet now. Wanna say it's 68 or 72.

A very interesting PFM model will soon be in my collection. Only 10 were ever built. It was to compete with the Shay, Climax and Heisler. It was one those too late too soon projects. None of them exsist today sadly.

Some more HOn3 goodness. Got another Westside Model Co K36 as well. My favorite so far. From left to right. Westside Model Co C16 #278, Westside Model Co K28 and finally the Westside Model Co K36. Just an idea of how big the Rio Grande's narrow gauge steamers got over the years. The K37 was the largest. Yet to get one.
