My LOTW will be the Alco C430 I painted up for Ephrata Valley. I installed and painted up a set of handrails.
I also added the rotary beacon over the air horn.

When can we see that Milwaukee E7 Buss? It looks to be a nice example from what I can see in the photo...

Well, itsa beaut OTT! The gray livery on the Botchedmann is very nice. Having recently sold of
my old tooling Jupiter on eBay because of a split axle (that is such a lousy, low grade design) I hope
you fair better.
Typically, I have a low opinion of the mechanisms of Botchedmann, but I will give credit where credit
is due: the retooled Sound Jupiter has been a gem, so far. The Auto Reversing track has been flawless.
And I recently picked up a British Duke Dog that received rave reviews in Sam's Model Train Review
(and that dude is a mean hombre. No white washing. If it stinks, he will tell it like it is). This one
almost go a 10, and most pieces rarely go over 7 with Sam.
So, I picked up this American Type to compliment Mormon's Gulch. I have a used Bachmann Command
Control Center (DCC) I picked up a few years ago thinking I was going to DCC Henley, but decided
against it. Because of the nice sound features on the Jupe, I figured this could be fun to take full
advantage. Come to find out this one doesn't have the sound system, unless I want to install it.
Mmmph. But, if it runs as well as the Jupe I'll be happy for now. And it would still be very cool
to have three trains running at once on MG.

Nice Bachmann 4-4-0, Chops!
Yeah, considering my Bachmann UP 0-6-0 is the old version, it does feature the plastic axle-centers, and might eventually crack. If so, I'll just fix it with liquid cement.
