First pic' in the post is of my beloved '47 726 Berkshire and its metal tender and steel driver tires; they're enshrined in a living room bric-a-brac cabinet. The rest of the set, including that "O" scale box car that spewed plastic "Baby Ruth" boxes, a good looking SP cupola caboose, a single dome Sunoco tankcar, a side-dumping gon....and, well thanks for the memories of that Christmas morning when at 7 years old, I got from dad an exhaustive, extensive demo' and tutorial on how to run it around the Christmas tree; He was grinning hugely all during it.
And did you hear about the train dispatcher so bad that it was said the DS couldn't successfully dispatch a train on a loop of track around a Christmas tree. That line from one of my Coast Div engine service colleagues, well now, we'd say "went viral," and lifted the DS to the atmospheric level of high-dudgeon-osphere.
Bid off, transferred or traded to another office or maybe quit soon thereafter.
Well now! You've got this O-Gauger drooling quite a bit, but I think you've got this site confused with the "Classic TOY Trains" site.
I'm sure we all appreciate your time in posting, but if you want to REALLY cause some heart attacks post it over on the "CTT" site.
Oh yeah, there are some treasure troves out there. Thanks again for giving us a look!

Was at my local hobby shop in Baytown, TX and stumbled upon a gold mine. The guys at Razor Hobbies www.razorhobbies.com came across a lady whose husband died and they are helping her sell off his collection. WOW, WOW, WOW, you would have to see it to believe it. Here are some of the pictures.
