This old Pemco is a grand little piece. Has a cruddy Tyco like PT motor in a body that
approximates Athearn's level of detail, yet for all that she works rather well. Here she
is pulling a string of Tyco tractor flats (see Trading Post, ahem) up a 1.5% grade at
the El Paso Model Train Club.
Should you wonder if those decals are crumbling on the hack, it is because the decals are
crumbling. I got them cheap off Ebay, thought I had a great deal, until to my horror they
started to dissolve when trying to apply them. Very, very old. I did the best I could to
re-assemble the fragments. The paint scheme is a spare AHM caboose with some spare gray
and yellow thrown down; a composite fantasy scheme after several hours of peering at proto photos
of L&N hacks. I have no knowledge of the L&N at all- I just liked the colors and the
historical nudge regarding the Gray and the Gold.
BTW, dang, Mike!
