bargetanikaParticipant
Then the next question is ….. does anyone have a picture of the “correct” caboose for that box? Model or prototype. Anything NOT&M, I am intensely interested in. If there is such a model, I want it.
bargetanikaParticipantWhose decals did you use?
bargetanikaParticipantIs that a BLI Pacific? Pic of the entire engine please.
bargetanikaParticipantAs well as the stack light and hinged stack cover. And oil bunkers to convert Bachmann 2-8-0, 2-10-0, and USRA 2-8-2’s to oil.
bargetanikaParticipantI have 12 steam engines lettered for MP. Two light USRA mikes are are relatively prototypical, 2 BLI heavy mikes are only vaguely like MP engines, 4 Bachmann 2-8-0s are numbered in imaginary number classes as are two decapods, one 4-8-2 is like before the pre-late thirties rebuild, and one ten wheeler is “something like” an MP engine. Does this bother me? OF COURSE NOT!!! They all run great! Crawl like ants! I’ve heard too many bad things about how prototypical MP brass engines run! I’m perfectly happy with a smooth running 75% prototypical engine switching my way freight.
bargetanikaParticipantHere’s another one WITH SOUND! LIVE! NOT DUBBED!
Many incredible action shots of ATSF 4-6-2 1373. How often do you get live no-dubbed steam era action photography?
MAN!!! The Santa Fe really had some beautiful whistles. The 5 chime featured the most is certainly close if not the same on many MP medium and smaller engines.
bargetanikaParticipantbargetanikaParticipantI haven’t seen your vintage rolling stock on your layout in a long time. I was about to make you a package offer to clean out all that old fashioned stuff! 😮 😯 😆 😆 😆
bargetanikaParticipantThis looks like something I might have done in high school. But it’s “vintage!” So hurry up!
bargetanikaParticipantUnbelievable that every year in Milwaukee it isn’t the Milwaukee Road.
bargetanikaParticipant24 caps minimum now? When it was 12 I could afford to jump start the GCL caps.
bargetanikaParticipantUnbelievable 😮 😮 😆 😆
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
bargetanikaParticipantThis ought to fit very well between a Sunshine boxcar and a Westerfield OB car! 😮 😆
bargetanikaParticipantThis is the second beat up broken lemon hopper a guy in CA is squeezing as hard as he can.
Do some people actually consider stuff like this collectible? This looks like something from the 30’s or 40’s with overlays embossed with rivet detail.
At some point this was a great model for its time rolling proudly on someone’s layout. If it could tell the stories it’s seen…..
bargetanikaParticipantWhat a deal! Free shipping!
The way I see it, this guy ought to pay me $20 to take it! With free shipping! 😮 😆 😆
