Lookin good!  Big Smile

What's the story on the little boxcab?

 

the boxcab is a DB  BR 144.5 in N scale by Roco. When I bought the crocodile (Arnold Rapido), I liked the look of the boxcab. All these years I haven't run it very much. The boxcab has a micro switch to switch from track power to pantograph.The switch was intermittent, and problematic. I bypassed it a couple of years back with a drop of solder, now one of my best running N scale engines, and nearly brand new because it hasn't been run much !

Poor guy needs a brass pole to get down to street level.

Getting back up?  He'll figure something out!

How 'bout this " California Paul, and the Temple of Trains " 

  Or Indiana Jones, and the ' 49 layout

now that would be an adventure!

Love the look of the Panarama layout, an inspiration! One of my faves, from what I've seen in pictures...
