Reply to "Peoplw who have williams trains."

Williams engines brought me back to O-Gauge. Unfortunately have not taken any pics of my Williams engines.  It was not long after Dad had passed in Oct. 1986 was back in my then local toy train shop in Charlotte.  I had been eye-balling a Pennsy K4 on a shelf at least 10-feet off the floor but could read the price tag $390.00.   I remember thinking $390.00 for a plastic engine.  Dad (Santa) brought me my first Lionel train Christmas 1947 and he was from Conway .Pa.  After remarking to the owner that was a lot of money for a plastic engine, he corrected my assumption that it was brass.  So my thinking change to only $390 for a brass K4!  He brought it down, I bought it.  The beginning of the return to O-Gauge.  Later bought a L1, then E6, then a B6.  And then a GG1, Alco FA-1"s and RF-16 ABA Sharks all Williams.

One of these days must get them all out for a portrait!
