This is the HOn3 RR of my youth. It will be added to the exiting layout with some dual gauge trackwork for interesting operations. I'm pleased this fellow improved the yard and engine house section a 100%!
the more i see it the more i like i think about doubling the main line but have it separate and go under ground and back on it self even though i am an ozzie it will be steam 20 to 50s with big american frieght and keep the 4% and double up love this magerzine keeps us down under informed and inspired pete
