I got started in model
railroading when a nephew asked me to repaint a Lionel Burlington F-7 into
Santa Fe colors. I enjoyed this so much I bought a cheap Roundhouse switcher
to play around with, and ... I was off!
This is that switcher, it is
now a lamp.
In
this HO scene, there is only 8-9 inches between the Roundhouse electric
engine and the cement block wall of the basement
I enjoyed modeling
in HO, but the rustic backwoodsy flavor of narrow gauge appealed to me
and I switched over to On3. I never got to a layout, my employer bellied
up and hard times forced me to relocate in Indiana and I found a buyer,
who in my opinion, got a very good deal
on this stuff.
My pride and joy
- all brass Iron Horse Models 13 ton Shay. I painted and
weathered this beautiful little engine. The ore hopper was a kit and the
caboose was scratch built.
The steam engine
kit and RR trucks were bought - the rest of this On3 MOW car was scratch
built
