An "old-timey" vignette of my somewhat modified Berlyn RGS No. 20 in 1:20.3 scale (Fn3) photographed on Roger Cutter's fabulous RGS East outdoor layout in North Central Maryland. The loco is battery-powered and R/C controlled, with full sound - the track is unpowered and only serves to guide the motive unit along its way (just like the real deal.) That's "Red", the stoker, hanging his head out the cab window.
