Keith,

Great to see some photos of your Torpedo on the rails. It was well worth the wait! Are those your tin plate cars it's pulling? I saw a lot of those for sale this weekend.

Keith,

With your forum-namesake locomotive now polishing the rails, you can feel like, what novel author Wolf termed, "a man in full."

Hello Jim- Yep, Those Cars belong to the Torpedo alright & They are getting hard to find in that condition. I hope that someday Lionel or Mike make reproductions of them. Take Care. P.S. I've got about 3 other sets like that in better shape with restored Torpedo's also & they were not easy to get. Had to look high & low for them.

Thanks, Frank. You can see a few home-made filter trees lining the river bank in that photo. That big tree near the water tower was sprayed with hair spray, had ground foam added, then painted so it would look fuller. I wonder why that one won't size up.

wrmcclellan , that video of the streamline loco and pass train is "THE BEST " model train video EVER . The lighting and camera angle and sound is just right and awesome .
You really have the sweet spot for videos on your layout .

Dave- If BB jumps over Beagle Canyon, You'll have to change her name to "Evel Beagle Knievel". Look out if she Takes a interest in Hot Rod Corvairs for her Canyon Jump.[:o)][8D][:D][:P][;)][:)] If she proves to be successful Bruce may want to give it a try as well.[;)][;)] or maybe Jim Duda.[:D] Take Care.
