The mountain has two tracks going through it. I followed Eric Siegel's instructions for the tunnels and hard shell.

The main tunnel is the Hoosac Tunnel.

The main portal is made from pink foam and balsa wood. I used basswood to carve the letters and numbers.

Now that the weather is changing, this will slow down.

Italian for "forward" or "onward!"   It's been my Internet nickname since the 1980s (really!).

I thought maybe you had an Avanti. I have a '63 R-2

Well, actually, that is how I picked the handle in the first place.  I don't own one (I drive a DeLorean).  But, I've always admired them (and Raymond Loewy, to make a train connection). I may buy one yet.

That is why I am looking for a T-1. I would love to have an S-1, but no one makes one that runs on Super O track.

Loewy was way ahead of his time, very talented.
