Congratulations to the team that put 1309 back on the rails! 1309 is a magnificent monster, and I hope it appears in affordable 3-rail O-gauge soon. Never in my lifetime did I think I would see so many big articulated monsters running the rails, the Challenger, the S&W 1218, the UP Big Boy & the WM 1309.. I like them all, but my favorite is the N&W 1218. Do you think my 79-year old eyes may see a Yellowstone? Perhaps may be the N&W Y6A will run again? After seeing the Big Boy & the 1309 run again, I will never say never to any steam engine running again, even a Dreyfus J3 Streamlined.
