Hello all, I have a rather large antique collection of model trains and tracks. They are in very good condition, they just need to be cleaned and dusted off. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced appraiser who would be able to take a look at the collection? Thank you very much for your time!

Hello I recently listed an antique railroad bell, very large brass or bronze one on eBay for sale. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me specifically what train it would have been on or if there is a way for me to tell? I have had a few requests asking this and am not sure how to...

It is 1920 and the little Porter is hauling another load of sugar cane to the HASCO mill in Port au Prince Haiti. The locomotive burns the pressed remains of the cane called bagasse.

I shot a bit of white primer on it tonight just so that I can see where I'm at and what areas need more work. The cab roof looks like it's sloping forward but that's an optical illusion. The side windows still need their window frames installed, they will get all weather windows like the...
