Got one o' those...a classic Athearn TrainMaster in Norfolk and Western paint, from my webpage... I've remotored it with a third generation motor and it's now awaiting white LED lighting and paint touchups.

Here's my only F-M, the H-10-44 of SP heritage!

I would, but...It doesn't look good on 18" curves, and I really never though about getting one...Till now!

Hey Deano, looks like I got your Trainmaster's twin brother! Grovemont Rail Link rosters four examples of F-M power.

In action:

Roster picture:

H10-44 #1054:

The twin Erie-Builts, #6001-A and B. #6001-A is currently missing its horn, thanks to a careless mistake by the engineer ops: that caused it to plow into a freight train at a junction and derail with such force than it fell off the train table to the floor.

 

[MilesWestern]

...just imagine the real damage of that poor eriebuilt hitting a frieght train at 70mph, skidding on it's sside, ten falling off a 400 foot cliff onto an unusually smooth valley floor!

...Please excuse the rather geographically risque address, and don't worry, it's train related!
