Ralph M posted:Well it started out like this... I bought this Railking USRA 0-8-0 in New Haven 'cause at the time it was the cheapest (I guess New Haven isn't as popular as other RRs) and told myself I'd re-paint/decal it to another railroad since I don't actually model New haven. As time went by though I began to warm up to the idea of "foreign power" on my layout and the next thing you know - I recently went out and got a NH caboose and 40' reefer. Looks pretty sharp I think.
I've had that happen to me too.......
I got a great deal on this Williams brass Mikado in L&N paint......After I got her I liked it so much....no repaint. In fact I found a Lionel caboose and DI repaint it for L&N......
