Latest CTT magazine

[Mike_AA9ZY]

I just got my latest CTT magazine and I was pleasantly surprised at the WBB stuff.

The WBB BL-2 engine was reviewed and boasted a real spiffy EMD demonstrator paint job. CTT liked that engine!

I also liked the ad on the back cover showing the new Baldwin Sharks in demo colors. I think those are going to be on my Christmas list! Who knows, maybe the Milwaukee Road will buy a set or just lease them.

That my friends is the magic of toy trains!

I think it's the December issue. They've got some great new subscriber-only content on their website, too.

It has great WBB in it. 

Demos:  Sometimes a RR used demos to see if they might want to order the power.  Sometimes, demos sold the RR on a model, other times it did not.  A way to sneek "odd" pwer onto your pike.

Also, some railroads leased engines from another.  Most famous, I think, was the PRR leasing some ATSF 2-10-4's.  But diesels were leased also between roads.

And don't forget about run through power.
