Lots of nice action, Tom. In the future as my layout progresses, I'll try to put a photo or 2 here but for now, it's planning and building. Keep those great pictures coming.

Tom,
I always enjoy your Sunday morning photos. I am curious about one thing. Your ZW looks like it is at full throttle or close to it. That's a lot of juice. What do you operate with that kind of power?

Your are correct. The ZW is most likely at 18 volts or so. I don't always turn it full on. These engines are MTH PS2 and I use DCS commande system.[^]

John and I have returned from the Toy – diecast show and what great finds we came across.

I pick up two fire trucks made by Matchbox of yesteryear from the mid 1950’s.
These have outstanding detail.















be sure to click on the pics to enlarge them

Tom,
they are great finds. How much were they? They would look perfect for the auto show I am putting on my layout.

The reason for deleting was that I accidently posted the same pictures twice. Seeing that I am new at posting pictures I guess I goofed up.
