Nice pictures tom. The C&O steamer in the roads paint scheme, is that from the Lionel Chessie Steam Special? And also where did you get all the boxcars, and covered Grain cars, and are they scale sized?
Andregg1, Very nice photos, especially the 1st one. spankybird, that is weird how the Lionel version looks exactly like that MTH version. The only way i could tell the difference is by the smoke units. Also are the trucks on the tender different as well?
Spankbird, that is very interesting. I have never seen that before. Well, i believe the Lionel set is what i will get for Christmas, and will add on some more cars. If not that, i will definetley get the Chessie Disel set. That is a great looking engine, as well as the cars. After that i will add the CSX GP 30 from Lionel. I will have to get modern cars though, but even though my era is late 40’s to mid 50’s i still like that engine.
Great job Frank. Now I know who to call to build me some builings. [;)] [now Tom will come back with, “You have to get benchwork started first.” [}:)]]
