I model the era prior to silver trucks.  But, I have to say they make sharp looking engine.

It was around the Monon that I first became interested in railroads specifically. This was about 1970. For some time, I thought all railroads would do such an obvious thing as painting the trucks silver. It took a bit of wider experience to disabuse myself of that fallacy, but it was only relatively recently that I discovered that this wasn't always the case on the Monon, either.

There's always something new to learn 8)
A little bit Monon and a whole lot Rio Grande

When you hit reply. At the bottom of the age there is a red link: Attachments and Other Options. If you click on that, there is a space to browse your photos and select which one you want to upload. Make sure you put something in the text box. When you then hit post, the image uploads to the board and a thumbnail is created.
