Great picture Steve!

You have everything sorted out neatly. I whish my desk was always as organized as yours.

Keep up the good work to have your locos running again.

I see you also have some AMF locomotives. Nice.

I better not post pictures of my workshop at the moment. These would be scary pictures.

All the best,

Dave

Nice selection. Your spares look quite extensive too.

I have managed to resurrect several locos myself.

Motors where I bit of bother for 3, but I have sourced a New 3 Vdc unit which I adapt to replace the old one. As the shaft is smaller the gear has been replaced too. 3 locos have New motors, the Yellow/Black/Red Flyer, Diesel shunter and Steam engine on the diesel chassis
