Model Train Journal

Yes, I think it is really, really cool, but I would never buy one. But, it's part of early brass history so it intrigues me.

Saw this listed on EB just now and not only have I never seen one, but there seems to be a following. What a unique locomotive. Looks like a three way horse race at this point. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267815562533?_skw=O+Scale+brass&itmmeta=01M5CQ4T26616CYAFC12PYZE10&hash=item3e5b0d2d25:g:H...

Nice! I can almost hear the rattling and creaking as it moves done the rails.

I agree, if you can do the work yourself it is a good buy. Good find!

There are a lot of good buys out there if you can do the work and there are a lot of "pie in the sky" "dreamer" prices as well. We're in a very unusual period for O scale brass right now

I agree, the detail and crispness is amazing. Look forward to the article.

Yeah and Nostradamus said 2026 was going to be a major year for activity too. I think he and others like him are the reason "meh" was invented.

My Scale American RC fuel tanks arrived today and I cut, filed and sanded two halves to splice into one. I want to build up some of the UP's turbo charged GP9 experimental engines with these models and the fuel tanks are larger. I picking up some styrene sheets (interal bracing) later today and I'l...

Well, regardless of their incorrect assessment of scale models in other gauges, your loco will blow them away. It is fantastic Erik! You may not get the accolades you and your models deserve, but that's due to their ignorance. Always the ambassador for O scale.....thank you.

Okay Erik, that's just some ignoramous on OGR spouting off.......most likely a reservation holder who is reguritating what was being posted at the time. There were a lot of reservation holders staying positive 4-5 years ago who are now singing a different tune. This was also about the time OGR start...

I was threatened by them, and I did not write anything acidic, only my anger towards the cyber-bullying committed by its fans, customers, investors, hired hate campaigns, or whatever they were. But I got notified, shut up or else. -be nice. By who? I'm not questioning it happened, but those scumbag...

I agree with pretty much all that has been said here. Our world is very different than it was a decade or two ago, much less 40-50 years and that is in all things, not just hobbies. You see it everyday in pretty much all realms of our lives. But, I don't give MMW or Koh's a pass. They knew what they...

They look like nice cars, but any updates on the SD45 that was started over a decade ago?

Just looked at their website and nothing posted in the "general news" since March 2024.

These craftsmen just blow me away. They make it look so simple.
