I received my first Lionel 027 in 1960.
You do the math.

I received my April 2007 Model Railroader (as well as April 07 Trains) today - 21 Feb 07. This is the earliest I have ever received of any monthly railroad magazine (6 weeks before cover date, and on the 21st of the month). By this time 30 years ago, I would expect March 77 issue to hit hobby shop by the 21 of Feb.

As I looked over this April 2007 edition, a short news item called "Trackplan for Life" got my attention. For those who read MR, what do you think of the story ?   

Thanks for the response.

Now where is that AMT-125 that EMD proposed a few years back? I have it here somewhere........

Rule question.

Are proposed, or as they say in Car & Driver "concept", locomotives allowed. I think a disclaimer stating the picture is a proposal.

I did a bit of research (ain't research fun!) and I know it is fleet number E4301, a 2 foot 6 inch gauge Canadian Locomotive Works product from 1958. It was photographed at the Esteban Hernandez sugar mill.

If I'm right, I yield to anyone else who has a picture ready.

I have used Trainland/Trainworld in the New York City area as they have a brick and mortar store, an 800 number and a web site.

I use Walthers / Terminal Hobby ONLY when on sale item (Budd passenger cars = $14.00 or lower) and for hard to get item (Detail West detailing parts).

When I need Athearn parts, I have to go direct to Athearn.

can the centennial ru on 18 turns?

Railroads talk is different from highway talk.
We say "Can the UP Centennial run on 18 inch radius curves?".
