Other peaks for me were some 3rd Rail steamers

I was wondering whether Scott Mann would share some credit with the likes of Messrs Kughn, Klein, Wolf, Weaver, Brenneisen, et al, in the reminiscing here.

The accuracy of his products and paint schemes transcending O2R and O3R has been very special in the last nearly 50 years. In fact, if measured by the size of the 'bite' in one's wallet complementing the increase in the cardiac pulse rate upon delivery and unpackaging, Sunset/3rd Rail/GGD has been a clear winner of my "OMG! Award" time and time again.

And not just for his steamers. His recent run of O2R/O3R ATSF E1's and B&O EA's was an epitome for this old phart.

All in all, though, the hobby has been one heck of a ride and very cathartic for ALL of my 78 years...and counting, Lord willing!
