I have to be careful not to " step on" any scenes, that is to obscure the views we are trying so hard to create.

Wow ! LGB 2080, the Hartz engine. What a beauty! Yes, matching cars are necessary !

I unofficially call this railroad "Paul's Narrow Gauge". Even my European trains are narrow gauge. It's the common thread.
