Now that it's been out for a while, I'd like to hear opinions from buyers
about this model. I'm interested to hear about the "level of detail" vs. the

I have just re-discover in a friend's attic an old set of a H0 model
lettered as Puget Sound Western.
Are there any details or original fotos of this line?
And ,by the way, who was the manufacturer of the model?

   Any comments on the new Trainmasters from Atlas? I might be
interested in an SP unit or two for the secondary era that I model.
Primary era is mid to late '30s.
