Extremely impressive work as usual from the Strasburg shops. I have the strong impression that those side rods and drive wheels are intended for an upcoming "visitor" to the railroad. |

Absolutely the best of the very best. I love the Strasburg for everything they bring to American railroading and heritage to boot. |

In the grand RYPN tradition, I must ask: Will Percy be painted green? Seriously, nice work! |

Great work as usual. I think your finished coach is absolutely stellar. Looks like a builders photograph. David Wilkins that was funny and like the humor. Regards, John. |

Is that 3 foot gauge track I see? Heard the engine that's not there will be leaving soon, so the sight of that track makes me chuckle. |

Is that green lining in the Cagney rods teflon? (the sleeve bearings) |

As impressive as the shop work is, a visit to Strasburg is just as impressive. The Summer fun pass is one of the best entertainment values out there, and the dinner trains feature some really nice fare (this year we had the "chocolate express") and as usual as the staff was polite, professional and competent. |

Regardless what the story is concerning #39, this thread was not the place for "BEDT16RMLI"s rant. All he did was turn a nice informative thread into a flaming poop bag thrown at the Strasburg RR.... Strasburg turns out some amazing work and it's nice to see what their Craftsmen are up to once in a while. I for one appreciate the time and effort Kelly takes to post these updates. Tim Wilson |

Can you explain what I'm seeing when I look at the axle in this photo?  To me, it looks like the wheelset from a model electric train - metal wheels connected by a plastic (electrically insulated) axle. Is the axle primed, covered and/or is the lighting playing a trick on me? |
