When this issue of MR came out in 1974, I HAD to model this amazing train. Took me 44 years to get round tuit, but here t'is.

| AWD, but the motor is crumbing out on me. Clean up the armature and it runs decent, but after ten minutes, starts to fade out again.

Awesome video, Chops! and nice Auto-Train. By the way, that vintage steamer....was it a Tyco?

Entertainment video as always Jeff. I think the vintage steam engine is AHM. If not then Mantua.

Good eye, Shark Master, indeed it was, and get this: it was new old
stock, never been out of the box. Put on a dab of grease, and away
she went! This was her maiden voyage.
I hope, this year, to assemble a small 3.5 by 3.5 for exhibitions,
featuring old West. Railroads came to El Paso in 1881, so if I can
figure out how to model adobe, I will!

Yahoo! I was right.  Sounds like a great loco!
