I remember when Tom McComas and his crew did an interview with Bill Benson on ROW in the summer of '91 for their Toy Train Revue video magazine.
They did have some very impressive models, especially for the time, like the UP 2-8-8-2 and the GN 2-8-8-0.
One thing I really remember is ROW boasting that they could run their trains for over 2 WEEKS CONTINUOUSLY.
