@SCHIZOENGINEER@TheDoctorRegen Our population is so spread out, there aren’t as many train people concentrated in one place. The northeast is the exception. We also have so many trains that have been plinthed for 75+ years all across our country that get maintained by locals.
@SCHIZOENGINEER@TheDoctorRegen I hope you can make the trip and see it when it’s completed. I went across the pond to see your trains and they are absolutely lovely. You have some amazing streamliners too.
@MrE4RidesAgain@Ethantheidiota1 @Andre_85_J94 There’s a preservation society in California called Walt’s Barn. They own many of Walt’s personal trains and memorabilia that Disney Parks or the company wanted nothing to do with.
Assuming the toolings are long gone (or languishing in Greece) these factory facsimile drawings may be the earliest surviving items relating to Meccano Percy's production. There are also revised copies showing Percy's transition into the generic Playtrain. (1/3)
