Beautiful Hiawatha Freight Set. I was able to get one several years ago, but it was a set bought for my train bussiness and I could not afford to keep it. The first show I did when I had it for sell, I sold to an individual who was really happy to see pre-war Flyer train being offered. We went on to have a really good relationship and he was one of my best customers and good friend. He always made it a point to see me each year and I had many great conversations with him about Flyer trains. I always looked forward to meeting up with him each year. So even though I don't have a Hiawatha Freight Set, I made a good friend.

Great story!
Same me, different spelling!
strains, pennytrains;
Its nice to see that the thread is available again. It appeared to be non-functioning for a while. Mersenne did some research and discovered that the missing photos are the result of Shutterfly changing their coding addresses. I doubt that I will try to go back and repost them. If you have any questions about specific posts or photos please ask. I will do my best to find the photos for you.
Don't trust the total number of views count. That is a problem that CTT/Kalmbach has never bothered to address.
BTW Happy Thanksgiving/Black Friday

I like the two "You Are Appraching" signs/monuments/?????. I don't remember seeing those anywhere before. What are they? Do they have a catalog number?
Always a new treat in this thread!
Hi palallin,
Its good to hear from you. They are the two halves of the 2230/4230 Roadside Flashing Signal. I purchased them with the hope of finding the reproduction top flashing sign some day. So far no luck. I think they worked out pretty well this way.
Oh, I say! That is *clever*!
Thanks!
