New Toy
Posted by Steamjohn on Thursday, May 17, 2012 9:01 PM

  Last week the ups man was kind enough to drop my new Lionel B&O Mikado locomotive.  I didn't get the Legacy model, just the conventional.  Still I'm impressed w/ the sounds, and the chatter between the crew and the dispatcher.  It smokes well enough for my liking, and runs great.  All that one needs in a loco, right.?

   The only drawback was that the curvature on the Abingdon and Rte 7 RR needed reworking, she's a long locomotive and doesn't care much for O-48 s-curves, nor O-48 curves.  So....no more S-curves and I now have O-54 curves on the mainline.

  I'd post some pics but I'm having troubles uploading them.   But, my Avatar photo worked out well.

for pics other than your avatar you need a photo hosting site like photobucket or shutterfly
