Tom, What's the premise of that dark gray and red structure in the lower photo? Why is it raised for trains to pass under? It's a Lionel Coaling station, right? Would the prototype have dropped coal into hoppers?

I'm asking because I like the structure. There's one for sale near me, but wonder if it could be converted to another industry, like lumber, ice, sand, etc.

TOM,
Wish I could make it to OHIO?
I just got my MTH Virginian Triplex.
Looks and runs great used it on conventional and with the DCS, no problems.
The only thing wrong with it is that on the right side of the tender they forgot the main rod and the slide for the piston. I contacted MTH by email and waiting for a responce.
It is a cool runner as well as looker. Would love to run it on your layout.

So Buckeye - when are you going to have a Centeral Ohio OTTS meeting [?]

[1688torpedo]

Tom - That Engine you called a GG-1 is a Pennsylvania EP-5 Little Joe from 1975. GG-1s should be called Sloppy Joes![;)][:)] I see that the Chief's Grits Boxcar did not make it to the meeting.[:)].
