Dream Trains
Posted by Marty Cozad on Wednesday, August 2, 2006 6:43 PM
It takes awhile but it can be done.
I recieved two more cars to my U.P. dream train.
The combine and full baggage.


that brings it up to 10 cars and pulled by the flaged Aristo Dash 9 (soon to be replaced by a pair of E units)

 A storm front came in and the tempature dropped so I thought I 'd take her out.
All in time,,,,

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

As per usual, Mr. Cozad, you are causing salivation amongst the masses. It's just great, Marty. Keep going, we want to watch and dream on too!
