    elesco feedwater systems

    Hi Wayne, Hi nutbar, thank you very much for the detailed commentary and extra side view of #3513. It's for US-modellers in Germany each time a new surprise, how many different locos of same type exist and how engines changed while their life. I remeber to a few Sante Fe experiments as single...

    Rescuing a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern...

    An interesting B&O box car of 1867

    Model in progress - with small steps. Coupler boxes and frame bolsters are mounted. Note the small high of frame bolsters. The reason for it are the strong truck bolsters.
