    Leasing and Trackage Rights

    Interesting history on the alphabet route, us West Coasters don't bother with that black stuff. I knew of only two of the lines listed and I think the only reason I have ever heard of them was due to these "special tactics" to keep up with the big boys. Thanks for the info! Cory

    The difference used to be that Athearn and the like would design (poorly) a locomotive based on one engine from one road and then just tag numbers and paintschemes from other roads onto that shell. This was fine if you werent really serious about things. With brass you generally get every rivet...

    Tin prints by Ted Blaylock

    I picked these same two up plus one more at a flea market for $15. I have also seen them at an antique store that specialized in repro tin signs for much more. They are very high quality and I am always getting compliments on them. For that you cant beat the price! Cory
