There is a train show in Anaheim, CA. this weekend it was well attended with lots of folks, vendors and modular layouts.  I am walking down the aisles, not seeing much, when I stumbled onto a very early LGB German diesel loke, painted green and very dusty.  I don't model the European countryside, however for $35.00 I can use the details, hoods and power truck.  It has been run, but has many more hours of useful life in it.  I put it on rollers and discovered that it not only runs like an LGB engine, the lights work and it has a very early sound system! SCORE!  So now I need to decide what to do with it.  Bash it and use it for parts or run it as-is... decisions... decisions.  Just wanted to share my good fortune with a group of people who would appreciate it,  Don.

A sure sign of good luck, Don! Wish I could be down there this weekend just to say hi. Can't wait to see what this find turns into in your skilled hands!

There is an LGB loco listed in the Items For Sale section of our club web site.

I mailed a check to Ralph for that loco yesterday.

Please close the fridge door as I am freezing down here near Boston...

Don,
Sounds like you made a great score, I can't wait to see what that loco looks like after it's been "Gage'd"......

Don, so glad to read your post and to see that you are prowling train shows. Sorry I missed the show (and Door Hollow). March for sure.

Don,

It was great talking to you on Saturday.

Here are a couple of pictures I shot of Bob Baxter's Stevenson Rocket on the Door Hollow Shortline last Saturday at the The Great
Train Expo Show in Anaheim.
