hello, yep new guy XD
I've been interested in model trains for, well, as long as I can remember really.
although I'm dutch I have alway liked US trains more then dutch trains.
getting models of said US train, however, is not easy here, as not a lot collect them, resulting in the fact that no store has any.
at least, it was, until recently I found a store in Germany which sells only US models.
and US models also revers to the brands, in the way that the store sells models from Bachmann, USATrains, Walther, Aristo craft, etc. etc.
this means that I now can get the models a lot easer, which was also the reason for me to get some streamliners, Union Pacific streamliners from walthers to be precise.
most of the models i have are European models, especially German models, but I do think that that will change now I know that store
currently all US models I have are these:
Bachmann 11702 - Santa Fe "warbonnet" FT-A
Bachmann 61204 - Southern GP 50
Model power 6756 - BNSF GP 9
Model power 8230 - A.T.S.F. 40' flatcar w/ guard rails
Walthers 932-6434 - UP 85' Budd Lounge
Walthers 932-9051 - UP AC&F RPO
Walthers 932-10058 - UP Pullman heavyweight 8-1-2 sleeper
in H0 and in scale G:
USATrains R22212 - Santa Fe "warbonnet" GP38-2
USATrains R22403 - UP ALCo Type P A+B
and a bunch of LGB cars and some other brands, really no idea about the article numbers, of some I don't even know the brand, but there four box cars and one open car from the D&RGW
I'm already a member of a few dutch model railroad forums but they often don't know much or anything about US models on those forums, they find they look nice, but can't answer any questions, I'm sure some others here can.
the topic icon is kinda wrong though, I don't seen sun glasses, but I could use an umbrella if I go outside
