We left off, last week, with LOTW discussion veering off into the interesting
territory of oddball sets, such as Play Art, and that got me thinking about this
odd contraption from a Gravy Train promotional set I picked up for way too
much money a couple of years back. I liked it because it was so odd. Not to
mention it reminds me of the Pink Floyd song.

** My car of the week is a little used New One Camelback 0-4-0 in Pennsylvania RR. Got it with a Champ set at Mother Seaton Train show last Sunday.

Here's a pair of Tyco F's, both without front ladders, and neither appear to have ever had them.

A great runner made by Mehano. Anyone have a set of grab rails for one of these?

I hate that CN paint scheme. The North America always just looks like bad paint chipping until I look at it again.

sim-al2
Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end

My entry for lotw is this 1958 stamped Gilbert 433 switcher. This one is equipped with aluminum drivers and pulmor and comes in a 31004 stamped box. This is one of the latest 433 switched known to exist.

I have these two F-7B non-powered engines. Bottom (B&O) one is TYCO. The SP one is indentical, except for underneath of it. Is it Athearn?
