Also no photo of the left side. Looks like the 3rd Rail mogul though.

Looking at these using a cell phone?

Sunset 3rd Rail. Made in China. A piece-o-never mind.

Sure. 3rd Rail makes 2 rail scale models in parallel to the 3 rial models.

I thought it was 3rd rail division of Sunset. Sunset did 2-rail.

Yes, they do lots of two rail.

Gearbox isn't NWSL either. It's die cast. Ball bearings on the input. I have dozens of them. One of those, right place at the right time things.

See page 11. http://www.3rdrail.com/images/cat0908.pdf

Okay...can't make it out on this laptop, but my XP desktop has a good picture program, and it just looked like the bottom cover of an NWSL box.

See? Black blob. No, I don't own a smart phone. My friends complain that their phones are smarter than they are . . . Don't want that!

The picture is poorly lighted without a doubt, but if all you see is a blob you have either computer or eye problems.

Another small point of contention is that it is the auction title bar states it is a
2-6-2.

Possible that could be true -- give them a Turing test and see.

So if it is my eyes or eyepad, then why am I able to see such great detail in, say, Maroon's photos?
