Mornin’ Phish, photos turned out fine. Got to admit, if I were a kid in the '50s, I would have modelled in American Flyer, and that Royal Blue 350 would have been on my Christmas list.

Thanks, I was pleased with the way it turned out. Should of seen it before I restored it. On the top is it’s original sister. I have a soft spot for 350’s especially with indented tenders and wire handrails!

Perry - your layout is always a visual treat.

CTT Delivery Truck Hits Buckeye Bob’s Favorite Holstein

Columbus, Ohio - A horrific accident of epic proportions occurred today just outside of the village limits of Roger’s Corners, Ohio when a truck owned and operated by Classic Toy Trains of Waukesha, Wisconsin struck and killed the prize Holstein of Buckeye Bob and crushed a restored classic automobile, owner unknown at this time. The accident took place at the famous Bob Evan’s Farm near the grade crossing with the B&O Railroad where extensive construction has been taking place for the last 20 years.

The driver of the truck, a Mr. Bob Keeler of Waukesha was taken to the Rogers Corners’ Constable’s office, where DNA tests were performed. It was then determined that Mr. Keeler was the long lost husband of Barbie Buckeye and the father of Brutus Buckeye who reside at the Bob Evan’s Farm. Mr. Keeler is now resting comfortably at the Franklin County jail after bail money was not forthcoming from his employer.

The accident closed the crossing indefinitely backing railroad traffic up to Mingo Junction, Ohio. When questioned, Mr. Kent Johnson an Associate Editor of the CTT magazine stated that it was possible that the delivery of the next issue of CTT would be delayed to certain southern states such as North Carolina and Georgia.

Great pics everyone!

Regards,

John O

I wish mine looked that good, course mine is a big Ford. LOL
