OLD FASHIONED FUN RUN at Pop’s Trains (youtube.com)
Thank you, Fifedog! That was a shot of inspiration much needed.
Glad to see people posting again after the forums opened back up. Were those short gondolas (WV Central) Lionel or someone else?
kblester - It took several attempts, but you're welcome, thanks.
Mike - Industrial Rail (blue box) shorty ore cars. They came undecorated, except the Pennsy sample. They just have that 19th Century look. I added the brake wheels.
Put together another bridge using Tomy parts for Christmas. One more to go and it's the toughest.
Same me, different spelling!
I finally got something from my Most Wanted List.

Believe it or not, I've had the box for this for over 20 years.

That's a really nice model of a NYC T-motor, and has many of the identifying marks of the prototype, except of course for a couple of less axels as a compromise to early electric models. Very impressive for a 100 year old model. I know that American Flyer dabbled in many gauges- what gauge is that model?
Wide Gauge. Compatible with Lionel's Standard Gauge. This style locomotive also pulled Flyer's Presidents Special sets. They're on my want list too!
