Welcome to Jarrell’s Show Me Something, the thread where a request for a photo is made and anyone that fulfills that request is in line to make the next request. Please restrict photos to models and not prototypes, unless you are showing the exact prototype of the model you are showing off. Enjoy!
Bonus points for Christmas related pics this month.
My wife bought me this one Christmas and it was quite unexpected out of the blue along with three boxes of Walther’s code 83 track and four #5 Walther’s turnouts. She told me to get going on a layout as I had said I wanted to get back into the hobby. The boy’s at PWRS helped her out.
How about this PRR 2-4-2? My aunt gave it to me last year. The drivetrain was completely frozen up, so I took it all apart, cleaned everything, lubed it, and put it back together. The old Lionel’s now one of my best runners!
I’ve done a lot with trains since then, having had more layouts than I can count due to parents divorcing and the umpteen moves that followed because of that. To this day, I’ve never had as much fun with a model train as I had with what this set became on that first 4x8 sheet of plywood.
I really like that–it captures the unique look of the prototype.
Whatever I want, huh?
How about this year’s Christmas train display at the museum open house?
