Large Scale Central

One of only five left

Aw, Terry. Don't be so thin skinned. :) :) I sincerely thot that the one at Mt Ranier was one of your five, but that's a 90 ton 3 truck, (with the trailing truck disabled--a dummy, if you will. At least is was last time I saw it running.)
Me either ... I was momentarily enthusiastic that I'd actually seen two of the five in person, and knew of people who had ridden behind or worked on two more.... might be fun to try to "collect them all" at some point.

The fact that there are a couple of others is … well, a good thing, and your movies are fantastic. I do see a “family resemblance” to the Bachmann 1:20.3 inside frame variety in the videos you posted; perhaps ordering that variety from the catalog with 36" gauge trucks was how one would have arrived at that as well.

I would never deliberately cause offense … or pick nits unbidden. Just interested in where the lot were, as I’d never seen yours before.

That’s not true, TAC. They sell just as many as they used to. :wink:

It could be worse, you know.

Great video … thanks for posting :slight_smile:

Well, damn, I didn’t go far enough north on 101 to see that one when we were out there. That won’t happen again.
