For the very few out there who are wondering what's being referred to... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClwIj3x24Q4

Personally I think on my end it has something to do with spending so much time in the mouse galaxy...

It is hard to beat a 681. I got mine for Christmas in 1949. I had not yet turned 2. It survived my childhood (it was my only engine and used hard). I still run it today.

That's a great story ! 

It just occurred to me that I haven't run mine on this layout yet.

With my next motive power rotation....

Lube it up !

if you can pick up great engines cheap, and rebuild them, it helps to hold down costs. It's just fun to tinker around with them anyway....

I never realized that my"bashed" G gauge engine resembles the John Bull, but I guess it does, now that you mention it !

 

In G, I would keep blowing out gears, so my roster was constantly changing, and evolving. Sometimes I would take 2 broken engines, and combine parts and come up with one good engine. Loved doing that !
