Train EC-1 lookin’ mighty sharp, however the MIJ with those 2 huge U Boats steals the spotlight! The high line shots are great to look at, so realistic. Glad to see 1/87th Sir Neal and Sir John teaming up to work the rails.

DeleteThe EBRR U Boats are doing a great job and look so much better to me since I altered them to look like U23Cs. 1/87th scale senior engineer Sir Neal continues to keep the EBRR humming along and conductor John usually but not always gets the switch list right.

Oh my! The Power Super at Terminal Yard is answering my prayers lately with lashups like the FA2-GP20 on EC-1! Locomotives don't have to be an eclectic mix to be appreciated, however, as the pair of E.B.R.R. U23Cs with their distinctive yellow safety panels look mighty fine on the MIJ! Looking forward to the return of the two nice white APRR RBLs 60327 and 60358 to the Kings Port Division. Nice set ups for the next P.C.C.M. series!
