How could I have missed this. This is so cool and so Tyco. I had this idea late last year but only scounged up 1 other Shell tanker. Do you have any video of this or the Virginian w/ coal cars running that you could post? Is it possible that my Shell tanker is all chrome except for the walkways? [:D] Alco Fan

... if ya don't share the tanks, does that mean you're shellfish? z I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

This is the best I can do until I get my hands on a proper Silver Streak Alco. I have been holding out for a really nice one.

I'm seen the Santa Fe one for sure. I believe it to be a Model Power product. -Steve
