Re: Another site addition

Re: Another site addition

Another site addition
I have added a reassembly page for the A1G locomotives to my site. So far, I have the E8, CLiner, and 0-8-0 written up. I decided to put it out there now instead of waiting to complete the page so it

Re: Variations I recently found
Ed: I picked up one of those stock cars at an estate sale recently. Not a great car but I model CNW in the transition era and plan to repaint about 10 stock cars to reflect this period on CNW. Are

Variations I recently found
I had some time this evening, so I thought I would dig out my A1G cars and find the variations I spoke of a while back since I had to add some newly acquired cars to my accumulation. I have found the

Re: Milwaukee Road Passenger Cars?
I believe that was sold overseas, as there is someone selling a B&O set in a box with Atlas spelled out in the same typeface that Rivarossi is, and its not a USRA heavy pacific, it is the Atlas USRA
