Somebody could inform me because I searched on internet but I did not find of reponses.

Hey Oliver,

It's been a long time since we've seen your typing.

Dear Steve,

I hope that you are well.
Yes it's true, several months ago that I have not write of message on MLS's forum but I come to read your posts because I am always fascinated with your locomotives.
I don't know for you but in France life is not easy and to have money for my passion is not an easy thing, but I always think of you and I continuous to dream about your country.
With my children and my wife we look forward to coming in journey to the USA but it's not for now, it's necessary that I wait another one year or two.....

But I always spend time modifying my locomotives, looking at locomotives'DVD and downloading photos of steam machines.
In fact with Internet I can travel in the USA (but just virtually).

Some days ago I bought Bachmann's K-27 #463 because I'm a big fan of "Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad " and "Durango and Siverton", I always have to dream to buy Accucraft's locomotive but at the moment it is impossible because life is too hard.

I find that Bachmann made a very beautiful locomotive and I am very happy to have bought it and to possess it in my collection.


I am really very happy to communicate with you, I always appreciated a lot MLS's members, you are all very kind and your work is of one very big quality. MLS is a place where it's good to live.

PS: I'm very sorry for my poor English, Bye and best regards.

Olivier.
