Love it!   That Minitrix Fairbanks Morse switcher was the first n scale locomotive I ever purchased - in the late 70’s, I guess.

Another childhood favorite added to the fleet.  This replaces the first generation Con Cor Kato Hudson the @mmagliaro helped me repower.  It was still beset by pickup issues, and generally didn't perform well, so i sold it.

I never got one when I was younger  because A. They were expensive, and B. I wasn't a fan of the NYC.  Like the Rivarossis of the same era, once I learned that 99% of the available paint schemes were foobies, I shunned the idea of owning one.  But I couldn't help but admire the performance of this second generation Kato drive.  I picked this up in that deal from Craigs List that Matthew Fry linked on my N Scale Hi Rail page on the facetoobs, and Ed Kapuscinski helped me close the deal while I was away on vacation.  I'll need to fix the headlight, but that's a small price to pay.  I'm also pondering applying my Laurel Valley steam era lettering to it.  Still a little shaky on that fake paint job!






This one is a champ.  Check this off the bucket list at last!

Nice to see the layout as a whole, and in context.

Very nice setup.  I always liked the layout over desk arrangement.  It was my first adult layout (1990): 9" deep by 48" long switching plan on the top shelf of a computer/work desk.  All with MiniTrix turnouts from the infamous Red Caboose.

PS: Later incorporated it into the rear of an NTrak Module, still have it.

Thanks.  I still have a bit of an overflow of rolling stock (new boxes seem to be arriving daily...  between Ebay and people off-loading their vintage fleets on me, it's become quite a collection!)
I need to start bringing some focus to the collection, to be sure!
I've already started selling off some duplicates and carefully curated combinations of things, but all that does is put money in the till to buy more!
