@Don McErlean posted:Hello fellow SwSat folks...Trumptrain those were great pictures of the FM Trainmasters on your layout. I acquired an old Virginian from my brother but it will take a lot of work to be running again, one of those "for the future" projects.
Here is my post for this Saturday (as we wait the arrival of the Hurricane coming up the East Coast from Florida). Wartime priority freight has caused the US Army to send their Transportation Corps to the port to expedite the movement of some much needed goods. Rumors are all over the port about lots of stuff going to UK ("at fastest possible speed"). No one saying anything of course but the papers all report that Generals Eisenhower and Patton are most anxious to get what they need.
Happy Weekend Fellows.

Don, I love the little stories some of us tell about a particular model train, like yours about the Postwar Lionel #41 US Army switcher.
Only thing is, I always regarded that #41, which I got as a Christmas present around the age of 4 in 1955, as a slow poke. Maybe you have supercharged yours to expedite the delivery of much needed merchandise in the war effort. LOL, Arnold
