Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
QUOTE: Originally posted by tstage Chip, I believe that's one of the ones that is part of that "America's Railroad" series that I saw recently . Is that the one where they show the BB and the Challenger sde-by-side? There's also a cartoon showing how the idea for the articulated BB actually came from the old Mallet? You're right, Chip. Definitely a heavy UP bias, but...still lotsa a great watching! [:)] I love the footage of the coal being "sprayed" around the firebox. Mayhbe when I can get 30-36" curves on my layout, then I'll start thinking about getting a Big Boy. In the mean time, a 2-8-2 is about as long as I'm going to run on 22" curves. Tom

QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse I was hoping to see some older steam go through the service proceedure. I have Service Facilities but they only give half a page to oil burners and my whole layout is oil burners.
