Okay, so here is a little game I saw on some obscure forum a while back. You post a pic of something either produced by a manufacturer or yourself and people have to guess who made it. It can be something old or something that came out yesterday, it doesn’t matter. It can even be a pic you got off the WWW if you don’t have one of your own. Whoever gets it right gets to post something else for the rest of us to figure out.
In the interest of furthering our education in the hobby try and give us some additional details about said item.
It doesn’t have to be an engine or piece of rolling stock. It can be a piece of track or an old obscure switch to turn something on and off or a circuit board of some sort. We will soon learn who the real aficionados are among us, or at least who are the oldest geezers.[(-D]
“Lone Star Treble O” to be exact. My first train stuff that wasn’t hand me down from my cousin. Dad and I had a 4’ x 8’ piece of plywood full of the stuff. I think I was five when we got it.
Go ahead and offer something up or let someone else do it, up to you.
A most knowledgeable modeler.[tup][8D] Yes, it is Atlas. I have all six road #s. I got four of them relatively quick and then the fifth one at a tiny Hobby shop in a little town that had perhaps ten MRR related items. The sixth one I found at a train show buried under a ton of new stock under a table. All were new in the box and I paid from $18.00 to $36.00 full retail IIRC.
I am surprised it took so long, I thought I was offering up an easy peasy one.
Go ahead Mike and post something, if not we can let someone else have a go.
Well, I clicked on your picture, enlarged it as much as possible, and when I noticed the metal wheels, along with the railings, I decided it was Atlas. I think Atlas makes some nice looking tank cars.
OK, I’ll try this. My pictures are way to blurry, but this is one of two steam engines that I have. Who’s name is on it?
