The hotwheels thread is so popular, I figured some of you guys also are into scale model trains!
After years of patiently waiting, my father finally said "I'm never going to do anything with these, will you?" on our recent visit back home. My father had a pretty sweet HO train collection, and there were a few that always perked my interests.
He found a complete SP "daylight" at an estate sale when I was little. In 1991 SP4449 came to Sacramento for Railfair, and he took me to see it in person. Nothing beats a steam engine!
I was also able to grab this old Sante Fe rail car set. I'm not sure what engine should go with it, but I'll figure that out later. I'm guessing these cars were used in the 1920's and 1930's in real life?
For as long as I can remember, my father had a SP 4294 cab forward locomotive and tender box on the top of a bookshelf in his office. We couldn't find it in his boxes, but I'll get it some day!
