My set this week is my newly completed Mantua/Tyco Civil War centennial Union train. Took a while to get it assembled, but I dood it.



Just need to find a couple of nice looking cannons for the gondola. Next on the list is the Confederate and CPRR sets.

Great sets. My contribution is a set of Mexican tankers by Mario Almeida at the El Paso Model Train Club. Photos by Chops.

They're still here. Sometimes I have to reload the pages a couple of times to get them to show up.

Thanks. I also have the Golden West set (CPRR), the Dixie Bell set (WARR) and the Centennial Confederate set (Georgia Central). I just finished getting the last car and the loco for that one.
All of the locos are getting restoration done on them (The CPRR and USMRR have been completed).
When I get the sets completed, I'll post photos of each one here.
Top, the Gray set has the same cars as the blue set.
