Re: Accucraft's newest

I can't believe it - I was actually allowed to RUN that train - I 
had my Ruby running around the track and was allowed to try out 
this train - I had no idea what I was running!!!

I've got to tell you this is one Sweet train - very responsive to 
the remote control and absolutly beautiful looking.  There was no 
sound (that I remember) but lots of steam out the stack.

I sure wish I would have known what is was I was doing I would 
have paid more attention - All I knew I was doing was running a 
beautiful looking and running steam engine.

Oh, to be able to go back into time and do it over again.

I totally understand!  Doesn't look like I will be laying track this year,
haven't even started the pond yet!

Yup, that would be me. I went to high-school in Westfield with a Ken Vogel?

Accucraft demo'ed their 0-6-0 at the National Summer Steamup in 
Sacramento a few weeks ago.  Cliff said the price is likely $2000.  The 
loco pulled 8-10 Accucraft reefers with ease around a 4 foot radius loop 
for what seemed to be a very long run.

Cliff also indicated that a 1/32 boxcar was in the works

It is a prototype that is due to be released in December. Detail was very
nice. I didn't get particulars on cost. They did bring it out to the outdoor

Pete,

Nothing new on the American Project from me. I've been busy with the summer
honey-do list. Not sure about Steve Boylan's loco, his website hasn't been
updated since Nov.'02.

are you the PeteH for Baraboo, WI that posts on the G1MRA Yahoo group?? I'm
