I have never been too big a fan or 3 rail, but that is a nice set up. If you like O scale Big Boys though, here's a a video you might like Kon.

In the late 50's I saw a Max Grey O scale Bigboy for sale at a model RR shop in Tampa, Florida for $324. I thought that was the national debt since I mowed lawns for $2 each. Hate to think what a brass one would run now days.

You're not still doing lawns for $2 perchance?

Not at my age, lol. Now I pay a guy $90 a month to mow my lawn.

My GF (silly goose) paid three guys @ $125 to shovel schnow, when we had a 27" blizzard.

The route shows some really great carpentry work ... good job Dad !

We got it for a Great price actually, but still was 4 digits but worth every bit of it, its the newest O scale big boy on the market...

Huge Huge Huge O-Gauge Fan. Been a memebr of OGR for years. Sadly I have a Steam Engine on there I have to sell.

I someday want to make a better O-Gauge Track System for Trainz.
Making model railroad layouts like this is very lacking in Trainz.

Having that N&W 4-8-4 would be awesome in Trainz and an improved scale woodside caboose.
I absolutely love the steam era.

Really like the scenery on there. Especially like that little loader at 0:48, I don't know why... Wish I had the room for a layout like that.

(And I really like the song you set the overview to. I could rattle off the composer [one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart], composition, catalog number, and movement [Serenade No. 13 in G Major "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", K. 525 - IV. Rondo] but I wouldn't want to bore anyone...oops, I did it anyways...Did I mention I'm a huge Mozart fan? )

(EDIT: Just watched the animations too, those are great! Hope no one was injured in the fire at the switchbox )

(EDIT2: 03-06-10??? Is that a typo?)
