I had the opportunity to travel to the NMRA Train Show. It was so cool. There were so many vendors and so many layouts. I also got to see the new Narrow Gauge coaches at the Bachmann stand.

Someone also made a large model of the delorean from Back to the Future III, which I thought was pretty cool.

I really like those wooden carriages.

I was able to clean up the storage room and I now have my trains on the ping pong table again. I was also able to clean up Skarloey and Rheneas, and it's been really nice to be able to run them again. I also put a weight and a load of hay bales into the open wagon, so now it runs better as well.

Rheneas looks awesome I must say and those hay bales are so very realistic.

Over the past few days I have tried doing small modifications to a couple of my narrow gauge products to make them different from other people's collections. I painted the ring around Skarloey's funnel gold like how it was in Season 4, and I weathered the unnumbered slate wagon in the style they were weathered in the same season. I was also able to buy Rusty and pre-order two blue carriages and one red carriage.

You are really getting good at this T-Man. I like your ideas.

For my birthday a little while ago, I got this:

It's a Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation by Bachmann. What's cool about it is that it used to be part of their Spectrum (highly detailed) line, so it has a lot of separately fitted details. The only downside to that is that it's a little nerve wracking to hold.
RE: TrainMan2001's HO/OO Trains - Super - 11-03-2019
I love that Steamer T-Man. Love the details and how its not all shiny. Great Birthday present, was new in box or is this something that is vintage.
RE: TrainMan2001's HO/OO Trains - TrainMan2001 - 11-03-2019
It was new in box, the tooling used has just been around for a long time.
RE: TrainMan2001's HO/OO Trains - Off The Rails - 11-03-2019
That’s very cool! I love those Bachmann Spectrum engines and one of these days, I’m going to track down a Baldwin 10 wheeler.
It’s hard to think of the Spectrum line as vintage but I was flipping through a 1989 issue of Model Railroader and there was a full page ad for the then new HO Spectrum GE 44 ton switcher!
