I drove up to "The Caboose" A brass Dealer out here in CT, and the owner Armand was standing outside my car as I got out and me being 22 he asked what are you here for? I replied brass trains, his jaw dropped a bit, then he asked steam or diesel, I replied steam only, his jaw dropped further and worked its way into a decent smile. I like when I'm able to show the older generation that there's still those of us out there in the young generation that don't like motorized boxcars or bullet trains
I like doing that to ;D

The E-Z Command Walk-Around Companion is an add-on to the E-Z Command Control Center and will not work as a standalone. It plugs into an E-Z Command Control Center, Item No. 44902  

Suggest you first get a basic understanding of DCC, DCC equipment capability and use before you start buying any.  

I agree! But could you conect more than one
"dcc walk aroand to the expancion plugs for more operators?"

General Discussion / Old 97
September 26, 2011, 09:25:16 PM
The wreck of the old 97s anaversery is tomorow. It inspired a famous song.

THE WRECK OF THE OLD 97

They gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Saying, "Stevie, you're way behind time.
This is not 38, but it's Old 97,
You must put her into Spencer on time."

He looked 'round and said to his black greasy fireman,
"Just shovel in a little more coal,
And when I cross that old White Oak Mountain
You can just watch Old 97 roll."

It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville,
And the lie was a three-mile grade,
It was on that grade that he lost his air brakes,
And you see what a jump that she made.

He was going down the grade making 90 miles an hour,
When his whistle began to scream,
He was found in that wreck with his hand on the throttle,
He was scalded to death by the steam.

Now, ladies, you must take warning,
From this time now and on.
Never speak harsh words to your true loving husband.
He may leave you and never return.
