Found this GHC brass 0-6-0 Switcher in the bay last year on the Bay .it was heavily tarnished but I got it to run after cleaning and oiling it .Decided to paint and decal it in U.S Army livery .Pretty cool little runner! I really like it!

Nice !!!

Now all you need are a few flat cars  full of tanks behind it.

Rust...... It's a good thing !

Yeah, I haven't looked into the "MR" Forum much in the past as there didn't seem to be much that caught my interest, but it's getting more interesting now.  A LOT more interesting than the "Trains" Forum, that one's getting to be a bore.  I'm not an HO or N Gauger but I may just sound off on other topics I might have an answer to.

Happy to help with with your YouTube links!
