Still Plays with Trains…

It's nice to see that Southern Pacific is finally getting some attention from model train makers. I just got two Athearn GP-9s with the Black Widow paint scheme and they look awesome. Yep, more HO scale stuff. No matter how hard I try to make the switch to S Scale it seems like I keep going back to HO. It's hard to resist with all the cool toys available (in HO) and other than River Raisin Models, the supply os S scale locomotives and rolling stock seems to be drying up - which is a shame, because S Scale really is the "ideal scale" especially if you're into narrow gauge. Oh well...
We've got our house just about ready to rent out so hopefully soon I'll have time to start on a railroad so I can actually run some of my equipment instead of it just taking up closet space. HO or S it's going to be based on SP's Lone Pine (a.k.a. Jawbone) branch in the Owens Valley. Oh, and I just ordered my Fuji X10 from Amazon with an expected delivery date of November 15. Life is good:)
