the obviously not completed buildings are cardstock and balsa up-scales of some HO kits. track is Bachmann not weather proof so it has to come in when rain is forecast.

And you overlooked to comment on that big orange furry thing. BTW, they love to hide in train boxes!

Tell ya what, that is one pretty nonchalant cat, a couple of 10 second videos. http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa309/FSW4picts/El%20Gato/?action=view¤t=MVI_3342.flv http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/aa309/FSW4picts/El%20Gato/?action=view¤t=MVI_3349.flv

Forrest,
I started with a Bachmann Glenbrook Valley starter set. The loco is now used as a parts donor, along with
an early Big Hauler I acquired shortly after buying the starter set.
You have a track and can run trains. You have everything you need :wink:

To me the Glenbrook Valley and Virginia &Truckee locos are the prettiest with that 1860, 1870 look.

By far the prettiest Bachmann loco is the Eureka & Paliside 4-4-0 American with just the 1870’s look you like. Ralph

A couple of turnouts for places to switch cars in and out would go over well but they’ll have to wait a couple months at least. Stock headlight bulb was replaced with a super-bright 5mm white LED Now that’s my kind of headlight! Found 10mm bright white LED at Radio Shack but it is too long to fit inside old box oil-lamp headlight casing. Can be fit inside the Round headlights though . . .

I had an orange tabby that would watch for awhile, then sit on the track with his back to the engine waiting for it to hit him. No matter how much the train would push him, he would just sit there like nothing was happening.
