Wow...rave review in OGR about Menards F unit, with what look like affordable fixes...gear material and flywheel additions. Can steam be far behind? (I hope not!). Seems to be an eye-opener on pricing..puh-lease make me a #90, and a McKeen car, and several gas electrics such as the Edwards, GE's, and Brill's. And small logging engines, less complicated, like a Heisler or Climax. The ATSF F looks like a reiteration of the Marx #21, low cost and durable, but much more capable. Hmmm .... think Williams was once known for that. Also like the back pages spread of Menards buildings, but wonder if the "Tampa Towers" is realistically operating? Push a button and it collapses into rubble? The "County Hotel" looks like just the one to bash into the hotel in Idaho the trains ran through. Great issue!
