Sean that is a Great speedster and a good looking locomotive. I also like the tailend observation car assigned to its trains.

Keeping up with the vintage steam theme my LOTW is this sealed Spirit of 76 4-6-0. I wish I had to cardboard box to it though.

Posting something unusual this week. It's a Rivarossi C-liner. But that's not really what's unusual about it.
Scroll down to see why...

The ACL engine is actually HO scale. The Rivarossi is a 2-rail O GAUGE engine. It's a dummy, but I'd never seen a RR O gauge before, I found it at remote Flea my wife used to sell at, guy has a bunch of estate trains from his late uncle he's selling, I got this one for $15. He had another A unit, but I had other things I wanted, too. ;)
Actually both of these engines are dummies, I intend to switch the ACL shell to a working chassis, most of my ACL's are faded, this one is a nice bright purple.  Only $2 for it.

Edit note - I took it to the shop today, and showed another co-worker, and it was then I noticed that the rear truck DID have a small DC motor in it...so this is actually a live engine, not a dummy. So I got a really good deal...

2 rail Rivarossi O, that is a mystery to me. I must say,
magenta ACL is quite the standout. Smashing Genesis
Ray. I'd never heard about the A & C. Great vintage
pieces, the '76 brings back memories of 1976: Jimmy
Carter, post Watergate....Tyco ruled the rails...The
Hiawatha piece is striking with its bold, clear lines.

The Arizona and California RE is a shortline that operates between the Arizona and California railroad. It goes through Parker. Arizona which is where I usually head out to during the summer months. Believe it is owned by the Gynese & Wyoming.
