Jim,
Thanks for starting SPF again this week. I always enjoy seeing photos of your S gauge layout. As you know I had S gauge as a child and that is where my collecting hobby began. While I am focused on the Prewar era of Flyer’s production now I still have all of the S gauge equipment as a part of the Northwoods Flyer Collection.
Enjoying the World’s Greatest Hobby

Beautiful engines!!!
Nice Flyer motive power!
Since I spent Saturday chasing the real 611, I thought it was fitting to break out the 746 & run my own excursions on the layout on Sunday -

with my daughter Lucia at the throttle -


She’s gorgeous! What a lucky man you are!
And I’m not talkin’ about the 746!
And if it’s true that “young women always marry their fathers” I suspect any future suitor had better be a railfan/ steam freak/ toy train nut or he’s out of luck!
Thank you. She looks just like my wife, so I can’t claim anything for that
The 746 isn’t bad either! I’d be happy if she brings a train man around when she starts dating ![]()
