Nice one, Mike, I like the ones they did with full valve gear.
Mine I call the "Royally Blown" because it is a Royal Blue that's been painted over by a previous owner... ...I touched it up a bit to make it more presentable.

I had my father buy me one of these when I was 12 because it looked so much like this old girl, Black River & Western #60.
I guess it ran for a little over a year before the pinion gave out. Of course now I know how to keep 'em running.

I appreciate the kind words, being able to take them out into real sunlight on a diorama makes all the difference.

Old meets new---4-6-2 City of Bristol meets Class 25 diesel in front of a classic Airfix signal box on my Tyco/Mantua/Hornby/US/British layout!! All British models obtained with great help from Ken.

Well need to add these to the week...new in the boxes, never run and everything there.. UP FA's both powered...thanks to a nice person I know..."the fanged one"

This was $11.99 in the junk bin at the LHS. I think it was barely run. After cleaning the brushes and commutator and giving it a lubrication, it runs smooth.
...and $1.99 for the cabeese.
The box had the rest of what must have been the cars from the set, including a Baby Ruth Reefer, but I didn't want them. I'll snatch them up if anyone here wants them.

All cool stuff fellas.
Toptrain: What's the story behind the custom Baldwin loco? That's neat.
