Stewart AS-16 make-over:
Okay, been more than 24 hours since the last post.
Here is a blast from the past that I can't get rid of. This locomotive and caboose were painted/lettered for a freelance railroad I had grand plans for but my desires changed before I got much further than this (was severely monitarily limited at the time). These reside nicely in a box under the layout for when I feel nostalgic.

Let's see a blast from your past.

My 1st HO locomotive, more blasts from your past. Regards, Peter
HO-VeloMy 1st HO locomotive, more blasts from your past.
One of my 'firsts' as well. Back in 1972 I was just a junior in high school. The day after Christmas I was browsing the huge selection of marked-down trains at the local Woolworth's and spotted this Dreyfus Hudson. I seem to recall it was marked $12.50! Plus I had a crush on the girl, a classmate, that was working in the toy department then. The girl got away but I still have the Hudson!

More blasts from the past or MR items that are dear to you, please.
15 years ago, I was sitting at my desk and the wife came in kissed me on the cheek and passed an Atlas Trainmaster 8920 over my shoulder and said I bought you a present. A few months later she did it again this time it was 8901. PWRS has my wish list so she just stops in on occasion and grabs something off the list for me.
They mean a lot.
My really old stuff is in photo albums or on slides.
Please show me two steamers lashed up.
