My new Toys
Posted by Mike Dorsch CJ&M r.r. on Thursday, September 28, 2006 10:14 PM
Heres a couple of new trains that I got recently . The first picture is my new Bachmen trolley . I replaced the two figures that came with it with Preiser figures and added a bunch of passengers too . This is becoming one of my favorite trains to run right now . Easy to put on and easy to take off when I just want to run something after work . The other is my new USA SD-70mac . Real nice engine right out of the box but a little to clean right now . Will have to get the weathering chalks out soon .

Great pictures.  Very cool trolley.  I like the people in it.  Give it a realistic feel.

That's a good picture of the SD-70mac.  It doesn't immediately give away that it's a model railroad, which is a rare thing even among the best photographers.

The Southern Pacific was a good one and I do one two Southern Pacific G scales. One is an Aristo Dash 9 that I painted myself. The other is a USA GP 38, again, I painted my self.
