Quotes

Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile. - Samuel Longhorne Clemens (Mark Twain)

Another Acquisition! On30 Strikes again

It amazing what can fall into your lap at times. I just recently acquired a used Bachmann On30 2-8-0. Very much destined to be kitbashed into a C&N 2-8-0. Since this was the first one I have managed to get my hands on at a really good price I am a bit reluctant to go forward with the boiler swap. Stripping and detailing don't worry me to much, but I'm just not sure how well the swap will go. 

In light of that I continued to keep an eye on eBay for another one. On Sunday I won another auction for one of these beauties. New, in the box, for a bit less than I paid for the other one! I think I have hit my wife's tolerance limit for locomotives though!
