Too bad you couldn't make it there BUSS, you too Richy and Walt. I missed you all. Somewhere in all the pictures Is what I got there.
This is the set as I got it.

Their were 8 boxed HObbyline cars and 2 others unboxed besides those in the set. The 2 gilbert C&O cabooses have different numbers and one is lighted. The Mantua General is a US Military one with a smoke unite. It is missing just the front pilot and in need of a repainting of the cobalt blue areas. I'll use it to pull my Gilbert 2 passenger cars lettered for the F.Y. of P. R.R., because I dont think I'll ever find the Gilbert Franklin General. The 4-4-2 shown on the box is a New One model by HO Train CO. Both it and the U-25B I think I can get running. The Christmas trees will come in handy on my mountain side. Now if I only had another 2,000 of them. The RIvarossi U-25B in Reading will definitely get use on my tracks.

Here is what the HOTCO 4-4-2 looks like. I need to connect the value gear on the side seen and the wire to the tender. The only casting with a problem is the tender floor.


Thanks for looking. frank
