Large Scale Central

Building and Bashing Amtrak Equipment

Why dabble as Penn Central modeler? Just dig in as most are just closet modelers that fear the lashing. I myself like lashings !

30 pages of nothing but Amtrak modeling! Amtrak has nothing on how many pages Penn Central modeling could bring…ahhh those were the days.

A good cleansing of the soul is always proper as we are not getting any younger

Indeed…If you’re over 50 and wake up with no pain…it means you’re dead…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

I wake up with no pain. The pain starts very soon after I crawl out of bed.

Confession may help with the cleaning of the soul, but when I review the evidence I have to wonder if the one who should be the confessor isn’t also the one on the lam.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Korm …Please re-read as recommended before posting. According to my math tubes are only 30% of the fleet if that !

All you have to do is turn up the speakers and listen to the devious outlandish conversations that were had at Dads place!

This conversation hurts my feelings especially after just renewing my permit to carry them concealed!

Thank you Cousin Matt for operating the small consist at the proper speed !

Dad still owes me $20

as requested, i re-read one relevant post.

without wanting to be impolite, dear Sir, i think, your math is deeply flawed.

if you come up with just 30%, you forgot to include the % proof in your right hand err… wing.

proof: Vol%

memo to self: google “math tube”

Really wish LGB was still around !

They are, but LGBoA is loong gone…

Yes and no. The true, original LGB is long gone (Lehmann). The LGB of today is really Marklin in disguise.

Well, with that positive news perhaps they will do some reruns of stuff LGB released in the past and I won’t have to cut up stuff to make what I need?

The only Amtrak item that LGB (Marklin) has released as of yet is a material handling boxcar.
