I got this brass locomotive from another friend...

...who had asked if I would be interested in it.  I countered by asking what he wanted for it, to which he replied, "Are you interested or not?" 
"Yeah," I replied, "depending on what your price might be!"  "Geez," he countered, "do you want it or not?  I won't sell it to you!".  "Alright, I'll take it!".

As with most of my model railroading friends, I enjoy being able to help them out, and they, in return, are ridiculously generous.

Show me more gifts from family or friends, please.

EDIT:  Oops!  Guess I was a little slow with my input.

Here's one of the EG&E's wreck cranes...

Please show us some more MoW equipment, please.

I have 12 Kadee PS-1 40 foot boxcars painted in this scheme for the STRATTON AND GILLETTE.

Sorry. Due to space limitiations of my 30 inch square diorama board, you will need to settle for only five of them.

Show me another rural structure.

Sure does, Kevin. Those overpasses were quite common in the period. I kind of wish the design didn't have such sharp angles on the approaches, although I have seen some steep ones like my model shows. I would have modified it if I were making the kit today.

I believe it is a RIX Products kit.

Carry on, folks!

Its been more than a day since BATMAN requested 'old-time gas pumps.' Here is the Texaco Station in Black River with its 1950s-60s pumps.

More gas stations, please.
