Weekend Photo Fun 2/12/16 HONGZ

Here are several views of the Mohegan & Pequot's HO scale division at the recent Amherst Railway Society show at West Springfield, MA. The Conrail 2054 in the bottom picture is an example of Bowser's recently released C430.

Another blast from the past.  This was my first brass locomotive back in 1976, a Tenshodo Santa Fe Hudson. 

It was rattling around in an open box at a DuPage swap, a lump of heavy tarnish and missing some of the parts, mostly on the tender. But, it ran pretty well.   I paid the princely sum of $35.00 for this basket case.   I replaced or fabricated the missing parts and painted directly over the tarnish. Guess it made a pretty good primer. 

Ahh... The ignorance of youth.

The photo was taken on the old Oak Park club layout.

Rusty

Nothing new this week for me, so I guess I will just have to fill up my cup with some more coffee.

Rusty- That engine looks great, what a nice find you had years ago. I wish I still had some of the engines from years back.

Another organization exhibiting at the West Springfield show was the Pioneer Valley Live Steamers located in Southwick, MA. The group displayed a number of large and impressive models including this Canadian National GE unit built to inch-and-a-half scale.
