Finding time for hobbies too.
Added several more Varney coiled steel belt drive locomotives. Addictive like Cox Mercedes only much cheaper and more complex and interesting to restore. Almost none ran when I got them, all run fine now.

Finally found a proper sized frame for my Cox Mercedes poster. Had to trim it a bit but it works. Also added another mini Mustang P-51 (checkered nose) to provide balance. Also added a few more engines to the display case. Every plane/engine pictured except the newly added Mustang and die-cast Camel is powered and capable of running and flight. Just would take a lot of fuel and patience to get them airborne.

Looks great, and good job on the train restoring Bob. I love the 'Mustang Row'.

Thanks Chancey.
The Mustang model belongs to my son. Heavy and highly detailed. It may be die-cast but shows no flash or casting seams. Smooth as silk. He has this P-38 too, but there are no manufacturer marks on either.
