I miss the old Atlas N scale board …..

I was thinking today how much I miss this thread from …… gosh…. 15-20 years ago where  @randgust  Randy posted his amazing N scale powered dog sled.  Or something like that. 
I wish I could remember because I’m so enamored with tiny powered equipment.

Randy, would you happen to still have a photo of that piece?

I'm afraid Dee passed away with Vincent. I think somebody tried to continue with his mascot, but the attempt was short-lived.

Then there was SkipFranAndFun . . .

I do miss the bulb grease (and other) discussions I had with Victor Miranda.  He joined TRW but didn't stay long.

There were many interesting characters on the A-Board (but the same can be said about this place).

The Aboard was fun! (mostly) - it's a shame that it wasn't properly archived.

I wonder if there are trains in Heaven ...

And Vincent did give me the OK to keep it going.  I tried messed with it for a while but decided not to..

He has a Bac-man too..

I am sure I have mentioned this before, but Vincent and I were casual friends (we exchanged some equipment over the years - at one time he was painting and decaling SOUTHERN box cars). Nice guy.

Anyone remember PowerSteamGuy? :D

Stay cool and run steam.  I believe he passed away even when the A-board was still online.

It’s coming back to me.   
Randy made a working one man speeder.
People were amazed.
