1948 Empire Builder set ...

[Carey Williams]

Hello all

Here we have a vintage Empire Builder set..... Adams & Son engine ...cars by Kasiner ? ...built by ? ... in an O scale News article covering the history of Lobaugh ...Al Ellis is stated to have built models of the Empire Builder for the Great Northern ...during the time of the Railroad Fair 1948 ......the pieces here fit the time period .....anyone out there have any additional info about Ellis's Empire Builder models?

There was an O Scale Empire Builder model shown running on the Twin City Model Railroad Club layout featured in the Great Northern's flyer about the rail train given out at the RR Fair .... but not the same engine from roof paint design ...

Engine is in very good condition ..regretfully some of the cars have suffered under rough handling and poor storage ..... some of the cars do have lighting and interiors .

For some reasons photos do not seem to load ..so here is a link to photos
