wm3798-

Just out of curiosity, what brand is your BL2?

 The timbers beneath the rails are not the only ties that bind on the railroad.

UP's 151 just left the roundhouse and is on my old, now gone... Atlas turntable.

 I DON"T miss the TT but I sold the engine and I DO miss it...  Sad

12 hours with no barns?

OK, then, How about an old, abandoned semi-truck OR any old rusty car?

16 hours and no Lima?? Are we playing stump the group again?? Smile, Wink & Grin

Well here is a small Lima, but probably not the kind Tom was thinking of. 0-4-0T BHE #4 switching Greenvale Junction. The model is MADE by Lima Co in Italy. Big Smile

Show me something that you have wanted to post, but no one asked for it - something that has not been posted before

Well, I found my N-scale reefers. As I don't model this era I had them stashed away. Roof walks, truck with wheels and couplers migrated to other uses.

Back to the Baldwins. The engine kind.
