That picture of your 999 really shows the model at its best. That angle and your lighting really make it "burly" looking and quite handsome for what was in actuality a simple toy engine! Nice engine, good job on the photo!

Thanks for the compliments Andre. I have a large collection of all gauges of American Flyer. I wasn't trying to lure you into American Flyer, by posting the Marx die cast engines I was hoping to encourage you to look to Marx to pursue your collecting goals. My advice to anyone who is a collector is to set goals and limits on what you will collect. I have representative examples of other manufactureres in my collection and I have had to walk away from many tempting examples of equipment that is not Flyer. Enjoy the hunt, and whatever you decide to collect is right for you.
