Ed,
The #10's make operation a lot easier for long trains as the transition from one track to another is very gradual.
===============
Dayton train show Jan 23, 2022.
One day event in one building on the Montgomery fairgrounds.
'They' still sell dyed sawdust!
Mike found me some GN books for 5 bucks each.
Booty.
Some more vintage metal and wood freight cars.
Didn't recognize the boxes for these cars....
Just a plain box with a label on one end!
Kadee doesn't make these kind of couplers anymore and they fit some of the old vintage cars.
Unusual 'wagon' car.....
don't have any with this large of 'rounded' edges.
Had one of these tunnels for my Lionel trains but I sold it in the 70's and thought I'd never see it again. It's cast cement and, I believe, real rocks on top. I've never seen one of these save the one that I had. I don't know if this was 'one of a kind' but if it wasn't, I'm sure the number made was 'small'.
Back on my 3 rail vintage layout.
This is the only 3 rail that I'm keeping as I've sold off about 75% of all my contemporary stuff.
