New Bachmann 0-6-0 tank engine

Now I just have to decide what I'm going to do about that misspelled Atchison. ... 

Do a photo scene of the cars outside the paint shop with figures standing around scratching their heads and the supervisor chewing out the paint crew. Sound logical.

That would work.

Recently I had one or two boxcars give me 'fits' while traversing the turnouts on the Monks' Island Railway. Instead of putting off fixing the problem (a condition I am well versed in), I decided to check the wheel gauge with my trusty NMRA gauge. Lo, each wheelset was too wide. Moral of the story: Anytime you are having 'tracking problems' take a few minutes to check the gauge of the wheels. I plan on adding that job to my yearly rolling stock clean and repair procedure.

As an update: I have yet to send that Mantua 0-6-0T to Yardbird. Money always seems short when one seems to frequently purchase craftsman structure kits.
