LOTW - May 11 - May 17, 2008
Sunday, May 11, 2008

My first Super 630 by Tyco, picked up at the Cumberland Train Show and Sale almost 2 years ago. It has a nice paint job and is a strong runner and is used often. I'm not sure how old this one is, I think they were last made in '92.
PS: It's my avatar photo.
Sorry about the event label it was 6:13 AM here. I should say Happy Mother's Day

I love that scene, Shaygetz! Is the background photoshopped, or is that a backdrop? Chris

Thanks, that is the neighborhood behind me, I pose most of my shots outside on a diorama.

The gon was part of a round robin we had at another forum. We'd exchange cars, personalize them---usually with weathering and lettering for our roads--- then send them back to each other. That way we'd each have a piece of another modeler's handiwork on our layouts.

Nice clean loco Alcofan. Shaygetz=cool diorama shot. nice beaten dinged gondola. Here are my 2 metal Tyco sharks. Both run. One is ready for a repaint. I stripped it as someone had painted it Pennsy color and paint was thick and awful looking and decals job was horrible. I stripped it using Easy Off oven cleaner. Easy Off has many uses. I then took a moto tool with metal wire brush to get fine areas with.

It's an early 80s era 2-6-6-2. It had the open frame motor.

What to do with a balloon, a needle, and ketchup: get ketchup all over yourself, pop the balloon, then yell "i've been shot!"
