Thank you, Fifedog! That was a shot of inspiration much needed.

Glad to see people posting again after the forums opened back up.  Were those short gondolas (WV Central) Lionel or someone else?

kblester - It took several attempts, but you're welcome, thanks.

Mike - Industrial Rail (blue box) shorty ore cars. They came undecorated, except the Pennsy sample. They just have that 19th Century look. I added the brake wheels.

Put together another bridge using Tomy parts for Christmas.  One more to go and it's the toughest.

That's a really nice model of a NYC T-motor, and has many of the identifying marks of the prototype, except of course for a couple of less axels as a compromise to early electric models. Very impressive for a 100 year old model.  I know that American Flyer dabbled in many gauges- what gauge is that model?

Wide Gauge.  Compatible with Lionel's Standard Gauge.  This style locomotive also pulled Flyer's Presidents Special sets.  They're on my want list too!
