I went to the hobby shop today, just browsing. And it's funny how this stuff affects little decisions. I was going to pick up a couple of books and mags to get some ideas, and I saw copies of OGR and didn't even bother to touch em, let alone think about buying one.

I'm going to buy both of them. Then I'll take them to York and have Rich Melvin autograph one and Jim Barrett autograph the other one. I hope that will add value when I list them both on ebay.

Not me!

Nothing against OGR and if they want to give me an OGR Beep as a subscription premium, then I'd happily extend my subscription and happily accept their Beep. But $70 for an OGR Beep? Don't think so. Like some of the rest of you, I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and get a Plymouth or Docksider.

I've got a Navy and Christmas Beep (which I love) and will buy the Rock Island when it comes out (as well as a Wabash model if it ever gets made). But an OGR Beep is just a little too much of a novelty for me!

OGR is the initials for another magazine, O Gauge Railroading.

My wife thinks Rich Melvin is handsome and with the red and white colors, I thought an OGR beep would make an appropriate valentines day gift.

I have eight of the RMT BEEPs, and a couple of models offered earlier by Toy Truck Collector.

Aside from the O27 curve problem--which was corrected early-on and is definitely NOT a problem with the BEEPs offered today, I have had no difficulties with any of the BEEPs. I consider them as one of the best motive power values in O gauge, along with the K-Line Plymouth and the Lionel 0-6-0 (both of which are more costly).

I will not be ordering the OGR BEEP simply because I much prefer to stick with items lettered for real railroads, even if the items themselves are pure fantasy.

I'll likely be ordering an Army BEEP later this week.

Try 'em! I'll bet you'll like 'em!

You've got to be kidding. The only people buying them are the OGR apologists. On the otherhand, I like the looks of the RMT beeps and plan to buy a couple from Jimmy Sutter, the PRR and P&LE models.

All those roadnames you have printed on your trains are advertising.

So what does OGR stand for and what is it advertising?

laz, RMT has fixed that problem. As to the question, I ordered one. I'm getting the 2005 road number. The paint job reminds of the Soo Line paint scheme.

Not me had a bad experience with the original. Wouldn't run on 0-27 turn kept derailing. Emailed company and they never responded. Will not buy another thing from them.

I'm intrigued by the Beeps, and hope to get one someday but not an OGR one. Nothing against OGR, there are just more interesting roadnames.
