Cool sets, BT!

 

Really like the oddity: HObbyLine set. An FM??  Very cool.

 

FWIW: Here a couple years ago, I watched a Varney "Rancher" set on eBay thinking "maybe"... but passed.  I simply cannot allow myself to add more lines to my vintage HO collecting.

 

Rusty:

 

Dead right. No way such could be done in today's fastidious modeler's market.

I am SUCH a SUCKER for gorgeous box cover art!!!  LOVE those Athearn set box covers!

 

(And the contents ain't bad, either. )

 

EDIT:

 

Just harvested all of those Athearn pics to my "Athearn" sub-folder within my "Vintage HO" folder.

 

BT: Did you forget to shoot the cover of the ATSF Pacific set?

 

All:

 

From a child up I've always had a very active imagination.  I just KNOW unwrapping one of those Athearn sets on Christmas Eve would have stirred my imagination to stratospheric heights... shucks... it still does!!!

Thanks BT!

 

I think my favorite Athearn box art in the above pictures is the Lil' Hustler set. What train nut kid wouldn't have his imagination stirred by all those trains in depicted in that box cover??

 

A close second would be the box cover art for the PRR 0-6-0 switcher set. It's superb!

 

Wonder what artist painted those scenes for Athearn?  Framed lithographs of them would be super for my hobby room.
