Hi all! This is my first post and I'd like to introduce myself and my interests.
I model HO scale, mostly PRR, waited years to have a room built just for it, and now I find that Bowser has discontinued all locomotive kits. Sheeh, the timing!
I've got a couple of K4's, an Atlantic and G series 4-6-0, but I'd really like a Mike or two for freight. gotta get a switcher, too. The new (and old) Decapods are kinda too big for my little room. I even have an old Mountain kit knocking around - the cast brass type with boxpox drivers and a horseshoe magnet. Just postwar? I dunno.
Went on Ebay and there are no cast kits. Nada. They used to be common as, well, pick your vermin. Heck there are not many brass locos.
Any suggestions for a Mike?
Anyway, I still have a totally empty 13x14 ft room, painted entirely sky blue, just waiting for benchwork. Oh yeah, and a track plan. I gotta create one of those. Just around the wall seems dull. Maybe a peninsula.
