Deano, is that diner sign from Miller?

I am pretty sure it was Charlie, but COULD NOT stake my life on that    my goodness, its at least 18-20 years old. I bought it at a show in Milwaukee, or Madison, it was a wood kit, I had to paint it, sorry Charlie, thats all I got   .

**EDIT: Charlie, I am 100% sure it was a Bar-Mills sign!!! just figured it out

Charlie - the black and white photos look really cool and definitely fit the era.

Bruce - That is a great holiday scene.

Deano - I really love the patched unit.

Ed - Those workhorses are awesome.

I did it again with another long train. This time it was 32 cars with a couple of Atlas RS-3’s. They handled the train with little effort. I did not hear them straining at all.

The passengers in EG&E sleeper car Indigo Bay won't be getting a restful night's sleep while those Mikes push their train up the Stoney Creek Hill.
