[Im going to be working with ATHS this weekend in sponsering an Antique Firetruck show here in town. Kids should like this.

Sweeeet, I use to like the antique fire display at Cedar Point.

Yeah, this should be pretty fun.
I was not able to attend the last ATHS meeting, so I dont know how many trucks are expected. None the less, it should be pretty fun.

I am dragging my wee carcass out to a strongman challenge this wknd and if its looking like I might need to handle a few of the weights...well I just might take a go at it.
Otherwise I will do my routine inspection of equipment and testing and then sit back and watch.
The sit back and watch part is getting old now.

Have fun out there.

eh

 

Rich, maybe you can help now, or one of the other train buffs. Looking for one of these in HO scale. Believe its a #2. 2 truck, 3-cylinder.

If nobody has made this version, I would settle for a similar Shay, that would have been used for logging. Also interested in Pere Marquette stuff in HO scale. Thanks.

I'll see what I can do for you.
Are you looking for brass or plastic?

Have you alredy checked places like Ebay?
Theres a couple of good train forums that Hoss has introduced me to.
http://www.trainboard.com is probably the most active.

Like I said, I'll see what I can come up with.

Rich

 

Brass is too rich for my blood, I'll browse the link, thanks. It'll probably get put into a shadow box display.
