Here she is on the layout, back to doing what she does best. Far to say she will be used a lot more from now on.

One certain model engine has been given a new lease of life, thanks to a new body and recycled couplers.

This engine may have sat on my shelf for several years and have quite a lot of damage, but my Bachmann J72 numbered 69001 still works, as seen simply passing the camera.

Most of these haven't been taken care of very well, have extensive damaged and most of them, except for one, doesn't run.

It's also time to show off the remaining model engines in my collection, ending with the more heavily damaged models.
