It's a 28 ton shay built on August 14, 1914 in Lima Ohio.

Right?

$600-$700....for brass, that's cheap.

LOL

Title says it all .

Sooo.....

A 2-truck shay #26...roadname unknown

Is it MTH's K4? If it is, try Loco #3.

I model the GN.  The one from Percision Craft seens too expensive!!  I really want this engine...   But I cannot afford $400.00.  I WILLNOT pay Brass prices for plastic.

The brass models are gone...surprising for $1400+...then again, there once were 30 DCC/Sound BRASS Big Boys, then there were 5 left.

It's made of die-cast metal. You COULD afford it if you find the right dealer *hint FDT*. My other dealer does BLI/PCM, too, but FDT gets my BLI/PCM loco business, my dealer gets the passenger car business.

Thanks, Chaz !

We're planning now. We'll (hopefully) start "prep-ing" the basement soon. Staples need to be pulled from the steps, carppet on the sides of the walls need to be torn out (the other owners put wood wall ON the carppet, the rest is gone), the floor needs to be painted, a door needs to be moved, and walls need to be painted.....it sounds like a lot, but it can be done in 2, 3, 4, maybe 5 days (we know people).

I just went to an operating session. It changed eras from steam to modern. So, now, I'll do the same (I like the idea !).

30's-50's and modern.

Nice.

Well, I'm about to start a new layout. Not Thomas based, though. But, they'll run on the rails...in 2 different eras!

I'm planing both the eras of 1930's-1950's and modern stuff, but the whole focus is the 30's-50's. But Thomas & friends will run in both!

If the exisit, I would know. They probably exisit in, you guessed it, brass . Someone somewhere will make 'em. *hint-hint*

Not a clue...although I'd say they did. That is, if the crew was even inside. That (if you can even tell!) is a B unit...you can see the A unit on the right side. The widows are smashed, the paint is dusty and scratched-up, and I didn't see any passenger/freight cars, so, it could've been hit in a yard....I really don't know .

Where?

I gotta choose wisely:

Toby, Emily, and Spencer - or - PCM CB&Q F3 A-B-A set w/ DCC & SOUND

-

I can't wait to see the finished Emily, thanks for the heads-up!

THAT'S IT!!!!
