Robert,
I haven't run that train set in about ten years. The last time I had a working layout, it was a model of the Sierra Nevadas in California and I was way too uptight to have that train on that layout. I have mellowed quite a bit in my old age (I'll be 28 Monday) and I could easily run that train now. Unfortunately, I no longer have a layout. When I can afford to buy a house here with a basement, I'll begin construction before I finish unpacking. Until then, I'll just stick with detailing locomotives and building a collection of rolling stock. I would like to hear more about what you guys are into, though. Feel free to contact me at: rcharris@frontier.net
If you need any help or advice on painting anything related to model railroads, contact me. Until next time,

Ryan Harris
Durango, CO

The Royal Scot pulls an exhibition train on my Illinois River Valley-based McHenry Railway Museum.

To James n Ryan,
Are you fellas currently running your 'RoyalScot' on your layouts?? Are either of you working on a layout that reflects an English or European theme?

I do. the Royal Scot was a limited edition. the number refers to when the model was made. Yours was made after Ryan's

Hello Ryan,
On checking my set, the no. is on my engine. It is 6105.. I suppose these numbers relate to how many were made.. Do you know what the signifigance of the numbers is??

Do your sets have the little metal tag on the bottom of the tender? I haven't seen mine in a while, but I think it had the number 1032 on the bottom.

Whoa! I have that set too! Dunno how much it's worth, but it got me started in model railroading. odds are that this set was sold by J.C. Penny 15 years ago. I got mine for my first birthday....Yep, I'm 15 too!
