Thanks Dave, now I have to rip up my track and start over again!
That's neat and makes a good trade show exibit. I just don't see it making mainstream model railroading with the need for liquid nitrogen. Maybe the enginners (pun intended!
) can design it to work with something more readily available, and safer for younger children.
Here's a pic I took just this morning after seeing this thread. The second engine is a model of the one in my current WAI pic. It's an HO scale Atlas RS-3 New Haven (as is the one in the foreground) except it has road number 529. A model of the same exact real engine I'm standing in front of!
Atlas wound up doing a special run with #529 as they had already released #551 (the one in the foreground) and #559 (I have but not pictured). They normally release two with each road name but since #529 has been fully restored and is functional on the
Railroad Museum of New England they were presurred by hobbiests to release a third number for the New Haven road name. I just couldn't pass it up when I saw it on ebay.
