I've only read about this in two places on the internet, but there is mention of a steam locomotive that Henry Ford owned called the "Henry Ford Special" but I cannot find any more info on it. Can anyone shed light on what was the train, use, time in service etc???

Thanks!

Here is a very interesting video I came across when I was researching ore operations for a spot on my layout

I am getting ready for maybe a ore operation for my water front or I am looking into a carfloat operation. I am

leaning more towards the car float. But like I said this video was interesting.

I just read my Walthers (MRH Sponsor) December 2010 flyer and right there on the cover NEW Proto SD9s coming... see page 4.  (This is could be better than going straight to page 3 for those that remember and know what I mean ).  Page 4 shows DCC w/sound (QSI) and DC coming in June 2011.  Limited one time number runs in BN, DRGW, GN and Chessie.  A little pricey but compared with everything else these days they seem right in line.

Now that Champ is gone, (Don't blame me,I bought as many as I could), Does anyone know a source of Gold Roman 1/16th high alphabet and numeral sets for passenger cars?  I just bought more troup cars and really would like to renumber them so I don't have any duplicates!

Thanks in advance.
