Hi gang. I just finished a train running session out in my shop and am thrilled to say that I rediscovered my mallets. One is a N&W 2-8-8-2 and the other is a C&O 2-6-6-2. Both are great runners and both look great pulling freight consists. To be totally honest it took a train video to get me going but once I saw them I had to dig mine out of moth balls.
Anyone else out there a mallet fan?...
Got two logging mallets myself, Rayonier #8, a 2-6-6-2t and the monster 2-8-8-2 built for Weyerhaeuser's operation out of Longview, WA. Mike the Aspie

Many in the model railroad world seem to like their "big steam." I probably have ten different "big guys," some of which won't fit my scheme but I justify them as either leased power or being on the line for testing. Who can argue with that??!?
