QUOTE: Originally posted by skeets ...As for preserved bobbers, a Maryland & Pennsylvania bobber is located in Gettysburg, Pa; two former PRR bobbers (one exPRR, other ex M&P/PRR) are located on Strasburg Rail Road; a rare LVRR bobber is on display at Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. A former B&O bobber (ex Coal & Coke Ry) was located on Cass Senic Rwy. (still there?) An ex Unadilla VAlley ex-ex NYO&W bobber is being rebuilt by Delaware & Ulster RR near Phonecia, N.Y. I'm sure there are others around....
Originally posted by fwdguy Anyone use them on there layout?/quote] Yeh I have several as certain relatives of mine think they are great Xmas, Birthday and other auspicious occasion presents. Most are painted for western railroads and are completely out of place on my Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western RR based in the Finger Lakes region of NY State. Not displaying them, however, could be a major, uhm, shall we say, problem, so they all sit out in plain view....... LOL Actually most are cute little things and are at least close to the time period (USRA) I model. Thats better than the presents that turn out to be Modern Boxcars and Trailer Train models made in the cheapest looking plastic imaginable... Oh well, I guess it is good to have people at least support my hobby and I still love them anyway. [:D] Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO We'll get there sooner or later!

This way the kids can play with my Timesaver track plan and not forget (or cheat) 'where is the engine'.
