My Champ set from meadowlands flea market. I put a Model power GP20 in with the set for better power.

The injection molding is real nice, but the motor
and pick up is not as good as the pretty face.
Hopefully I will get some use out of her soon.

Alas, yes, Chops is a closet Anglophile. Must be
my Canadian blood, once a subject of the Queen,
always a subject of the Queen.

That Caledonian is the bomb.

Nice Champ set and cool sub.

Nevuh, nevuh, my dear fellow. Merely a shift in focus. I'm going to
be running my pancake motors to extinction, mostly on the Club
layout.

If I can ever get the time, will take out the stored away Tycomania
loop and fire it up an exhibition. Makes the rivet counters crazy.

That picture of the coaches I took at the train show I got them at back in February of last year. I'm still amazed how cheap I got them. I got all of those coaches for $25 (I talked the guy down).

The Flying Scotsman is a classic British locomotive (and passenger train, actually).

On a short vacation out west. Found this POS in an antique shop. Folded tin, looks like 0n30 size, Half 0 wheel spacing. At forty two clams, I let them keep it.

In fact, it was revealed in one of the old, classic books that Gordon was Flying Scotsman's brother.
