This week we are starting with## LET FREEDOM RING
WE also wanted to share with you our MTH PS1 engines from one of their first starter sets. For the price, it wasn’t bad considering it has sound.
This is a B & O 2-6-0
Typical of MTH, it has great smoke
be sure to click on the pics to enlarge them.
Let see some of yours

UP Power on the BA&P
The Super Chief passes Lenox tower as the Southerner waits for clearance.
The crew of 8322 steps out to see 1516
Were they waiting for clearance or did they stop for Krispy Kreme D’nuts ?[(-D]
WOW! Does she have a figure! Now, now…I’m not talkin’ about those hot looking neighbor babes, guys…I’m talkin’ about Marce Urbanski, who makes PERSONALIZED 1:48 scale figures for our O gauge layouts.
Most of us have “people” on our railroad empires, right? Whether they’re from Artista, Preiser, K-Line, etc., they do add a nice touch. Marce goes one step further and sculpts them from PHOTOGRAPHS…so you can have figures that resemble family members, pets, famous people - whoever you want! It certainly adds that “personal touch” and those that see them will certainly comment, “Hey, that’s your wife, your son/daughter…how cool!” She makes them close enough to be easily recognizeable.
How close does she come? I sent her pics of our family, each in a memorable pose that I think personifies them in a “moment”…unique and timeless. I’ve included the photographs I sent her to work from so you can judge their accuracy.
You can contact Marce via e-mail: trainsformations@yahoo.com. Cost is $6 - $8 per figure. She also can supply other items such as soccer balls, chairs, and in my case, a model airplane, car creeper, etc. Note the school work that Karen is holding and the visor Jason is wearing while flying his airplane.
They certainly add that personal element to your layout. Enjoy!
These last two show their placement on my little table:
Jim, we will definitely be ordering some of these. I need to add Spanky to our layout. Can she work from e-mailed pics or do you have to send her hard copies?

the Southerner is still waiting…
I salute all our veterans …as the K-Line Desert Storm Train races needed supplies to the front lines. Tim
Still restricted to the floor until the room is cleaned out. [Youngest is now saying house will be ready by July 1???]
Added a few more engines and rolling stock since this was taken [another trip to Mom’s and someone sold me a Trainmaster].
Tom - she needs hard copies…but she can work from digital pictures - just print them. I made mine 5X7 on standard paper…photographic paper would be better, of course…

…and still waiting…
fgerome, pretty good. I like those. [:D] The old man and his pretty wife sitting watching his son run radio controled airplane. Old man, how did you get such a pretty wife? [Don’t tell us, my ears will not stand it [:p]]
…at last, the Southerner is clear to leave.
don’t worry, i am not going to show you those pictures [:D]
