Thanks Ash Standard, I have had the opportunity to see two pre-war 300s very recently , I will someday probably get a modern reproduction #305. That said, seeing one (" in person" ) they are BIG.
It is suprising that they are only 28 1/2 "long and the RailKing is 34".
For now plans have changed, ...there is only so much room and a recently aquired, ((much cheaper) Marx "Glendale" station is on the "lot".
( a 28" Marx freight station in really good shape might just follow me home from the "train show" next month). Realestate is getting scarce. May have to expand..maybe be.....
What a great hobby!
