New Toy

Last week the ups man was kind enough to drop my new Lionel B&O Mikado locomotive. I didn’t get the Legacy model, just the conventional. Still I’m impressed w/ the sounds, and the chatter between the crew and the dispatcher. It smokes well enough for my liking, and runs great. All that one needs in a loco, right.?

The only drawback was that the curvature on the Abingdon and Rte 7 RR needed reworking, she’s a long locomotive and doesn’t care much for O-48 s-curves, nor O-48 curves. So…no more S-curves and I now have O-54 curves on the mainline.

I’d post some pics but I’m having troubles uploading them. But, my Avatar photo worked out well.

for pics other than your avatar you need a photo hosting site like photobucket or shutterfly

A new loco always gets the adrenalin flowing. Looking forward to your pictures.

In the for what it’s worth Dept…I’ve posted some pics in the Gallery section.[:D]
