Now guys, don't tease Marty too much!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/laugh.gif - Corruption can be a "two-way street"!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/wow.gif

I'm guilty too /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/tongue.gif - in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION! /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/crazy.gif

"Exhibit A" - Prior to this year's Amhearst Railway Society train show:/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blush.gif

"Exhibit B" - AFTER /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/shocked.gif this year's Amhearst show!/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/w00t.gif

-But in my own defense  - many railfans have long considered Alco PA's to be "HONORARY STEAM LOCOMOTIVES!"                                      Tom




You don't NEED a defense for that move. What a worthy acquisition! Very impressive.

Oh yes, I know the feeling well, having vastly expanded my small railroad empire from a historic steamer line into the modern world of the large, impressive 1:29 streamliners.  

Above: late 2005:  temporary track supports hold two new passenger lines--the beginning of the Phase II 1:29 line.   Above it is the older 1:24 CRNW (steam engine) line.
