LifeLike RS11, mint in OB, never run judging from the wheels. I bought this at the Cumberland Train Show and Sale on my last sweep before leaving. It has a tag on it that says it was sold by Ward's , Grnsburg, PA?, 2 handwritten store tags and an orange price tag for $15. You may notice the gray cylinder that fits over each coupler and the extra coupler. This is a 4 wheel drive model.
Happy Memorial Day to all!

My AHM/Rivarossi Cab-Forward. I purchased it at a swap meet for $25 because it "had a hitch in it" that the original owner couldn't resolve. I brought it home to find that its boiler weight was warped from zinc-pest. I broke the weight into 3 pieces, then glued them back straight with JB Weld. After some filing ands fitting, I installed DCC and added weight over the drivers. It regularly pulls about 25 cars up a 1.75% grade very well.

Seems like a mini-SP theme so far, so first is a pair of old Athearn S-12's...the gray unit is the oldest model, sporting metal sideframes.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

This guy may have made an appearance in the past, but he was off the shelf for the first time in quite a while, and with a paint job like that, loves to pose for the camera!

See the date this was posted? Almost 4 years later, Athearn makes it a REALITY!
