Good Day,
Thought I would share a picture for everyone.
1563 is an Overland S scale model. Runs great. Issued in 1988 +/-, and over the years has DCC and sound installed. My home layout is still "in progress", so I run this with the North Penn S Gaugers modular set up when I can.

1574 is an O scale model built by George Stock, some time in the early 1960's as best I can piece together. It is in good running order.
I displayed this engine at the RRMM2 last year.

The cabooses, the S is also by Overland, and the O scale is by IMP.

Enjoy,

Hugh Sinn

Franks basement in Yardley was bigger than his house! The layout was HUGE. If I was not in S Scale I would be in O Scale. Bill
