The small size of the group means that we command very little attention n the marketplace, alas! Rolling stock is easy enough to come by, but engines are usually either scale with all the unnecessary felgercarb or sub-scale, too often also with too much electronic stuff. Postwar provides the right level of gimcrackery but sub-scale.
Thus, my HiRail purchases have been at a standstill for years. My focus has lately turned to Marx (8-wheel plastic/DeLuxe) and Standard Gauge--original only, please.
Talk about your diverse interests!
Wow, you're right! That's another group with limited representation.
