Hello all
Fun time at the March meet !!~!~
Problem with walking around at a train show with nothing in your hands ..you can reach in your pocket for $$ and now you have something in your hands .
12 !! Piggyback cars ... by Quality Craft Models circa 1970's ..nicely done with ACE roller bearing trucks ...sure why not ..... put the Chicken train together and run out of Chicago west .
12 89' cars on my little layout ...not so much with 48" radius .... scratch built pair of C NW GP35 built by Fred Goetz sheet metal body with Lionel power trucks growling away ...agreed to pull 9 cars with FRED flashing on the rear .
see link for video action
