It was pretty cool. with the three axles in back and two in front. It was so tall. I even sat in the engineers seat and played with all the controls. It was fun.

Merten Man, that's awesome!! I am a big fan of the FL-9, as I grew up with them on the MN/CDOT Waterbury branch - saw them in NH paint all the time and became a NH fan.

I've been in the FL-9 at the CERM in Willimantic too! CDOT 2023 it is originally NH 2057... The FL-9 is an awesome engine...

I hear that the museum there in Willimantic will be putting the original Hancock Air Whistle back on in place of the CDOT horn. Also I heard CDOT is offering them another that ran on the Farewell to the FL-9 trip last October (which I rode)..

I have 3 I got from wrecked Dodge P/U trucks.

They're the ones that fold up into the dash, so after I get these mounted to the benchwork, they'll be out of the way when not needed.

I bought some at the local game table store ......they were hanging on the end of foosball tables.

Before I got them, many a time I knocked over a beer, I mean a Coke, on the table, and misplaced my cell.

GAPPLEG ..... I really like your layout. I have a private mining and industrial road located in the eastern Pennsylvania mountains, serving the small anthracite coal mines and a few heavy industries. Interchanges with ConRail. That's a sharp looking paint scheme you have! Great job on that engine. The different shades of green really looks good. Mine are a reverse of the SP tiger stripe ----- I made orange the main color. Two large numbers on the cab.

Well I work at a Video Game repair place so I got them Wholesale but hey maybe you will as well by contacting Amusements Plus Inc The number is 800-377-7729 part#su0652 They might sell them to you wholesale. I ordered them for my job and just reimbursed the amount of $4.50 for them. There are many places too, not just Amusement Plus. I am not advertising just them sir. The choice is yours, That is just where I purchased them thats all. They are pretty cool made of metal and ready to be screwed to the layout.

As I stated before though there are many other uses for them too not just drinks ya know?

Well I just ordered two 2beverage racks for my layout. It is a convience since I do drink beverages when working and operating on my layout but I always place the drink anywhere and then hunt for it when I want a drink so I have resolved this issue by ordering the beverage racks. They were only $2.25 each. They are actually made for billiards for pool tables I am pretty sure. I think these will come in hand and also I am 100% sure it will also provide a place to put the cordless phone (lens cordless control phone or the house phone) , cell phone, and tools while working. So it will basically serve many purposes as well. Anyone else have beverage racks for their layout and if not does this interest you to get some now?
