Very cool photos. Thanks for posting them. The models aren't near as cute as the classic image of the cute model in the pin stripped bikini, but the locomotive is just as nice.

And that is the only piece of equipment at TT that I haven't been involved with moving around the museum in the last 10 or so years. And yes, we do intend to move it under cover one of these days. But the tile game involved in getting it there is complex.
