Jon, I just but my Berk on the bench (dining-room table) and gave it a careful look over. This thing really is a beauty. The sprung drivers are brass blocks and have the perfect tension. The sprung rear truck is a knock out. This really is a favorite of mine. It's small too, so I think the overhang will be perfect. Oh! Pulling power. Mine pulls a 32 car freight with many cast coal hoppers without blinking an eyebrow (coffin, that is). Did it get in the mail?

Check this fellow out, if you would.... He looks like Daisy's kinda guy. :D


Dr. Archibald Staunton (b. 1864)
The subject of esteemed Industrialist and Steam Engineer Dr Staunton’s lecture was the great advantages of the railway transportation system over the canals and road. His expert advice has already assisted many company's in remaining competitive, indeed, the most luxurious and efficient railway system the Orient Express owes it’s existence to Dr Staunton's revolutionary piston system. He then continued to explain how the leaps and bounds in technical advances were altering our way of life forever, a magic lantern showed pictures of strange metal men occupied in menial tasks while their masters cavorted in flying machines taking day trips to the moon, a glimpse, as it were, of the Bold Future of her Majesties Empire.

I gotta be honest with ya, Jon, you dig some WEIRD sh*t up on the internet. This guy may even have a space bar for Daisy hiding someplace in the recesses of his toolbox.

Jon, that's a BIG one...

Dennis, after I submitted samples to them a month or so ago, I got the "go" on a layout near here. I talked with Neil briefly today on the details. Though I have done minor stuff for Trains on prototype railroading, it'll be my first model byline. Do you do studio or layout photography? I would be interested in any lighting tips you may have, as I am planning on simply going long and using strobe flash to fill and highlight.

Clouser, I might be the only male with this, but I have a complete phobia about those things. I can't stand them. I'd take ANY natural breast over those things. Sorry, but we all have our issues.

Now that---is ugly. Except for Daizzy. She's always lovely somehow. I guess it's a gift.

Clouser - that is TOO bizarre; I'm with Tramp, bolt-on parts are for cars. I'm in for a Rolling Rock in the green bottle from the Keystone State.
