Hey Mark, nice looking trains on the shelves. My basement train layout room is semi neat and organized when I get around to cleaning off the work/project table. I noticed the Baggage/Mail or RPO car on your shelf. It's nicely proportioned. Who made that train set?
Tonight I got around to some layout to dos. I was in Menards to spend a rebate of $20 and bought 3 long pieces of tubular track to place on a 10 foot girder spur. I painted one side of the track earth brown camo and attached it to the girder sections. Then I found a few older cars to put on the track to see how it looked. I ran the local passenger train around the inner loop a few times to make sure the cars cleared the girder supports. I made a couple of rough timber track bumpers for a couple of spur ends.
Pennsynut, thank you. The cars are RailKing Western Maryland heavyweights. I have the RailKing WM PS3 Pacific in front of them. It makes a very nicely proportioned train. There is an additional 2 car set and another single car that RailKing made to match. I saw the whole 7 car consist for sale at York a few years back. I just have these 4. I really don’t have room to run a 7 car train.
