rbrown7713 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Well, I did it again, couldn't resist. Paid 1600.00 for it, not bad considering it was 3200 new. Some of these cars, I only paid 450 for because they were damaged, but this one has no damage. Now I have six of these FAM cars, looks nice behind my T1. I will run these again someday. Bob.

rbrown7713 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Thanks Chuck. If anyone can get a hold of one of these FAM cars they would appreciate the detail. It is like holding a full size one in your hands. You pull on a chain and all of the clasp brakes actuate. Amazing. Also this one has a complete kitchen with sinks and ovens. Again, amazing. Bob.

enginear joe Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I did not know that! I thought they looked realistic. I didn't think they actually worked like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Yes, also the lever that one lifts to disengage the coupler also works realistically. They even have pins on the clasps on access doors that has to be lifted to access. Just about everything on the prototype is represented accurately on the model. Bob.

Sean Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I do not think you have updated a train video in a while.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Wait for coming attractions. I am working on becoming an artist. What I am learning about myself, is that I should stick with trains. I made a drawing of a cat, not bad, but then, I am trying acrylics, and that is the point that I am realizing that I am not an artist, but I will keep trying. I am trying to reproduce a Vermeer, girl with the pearl earring, a work in progress. This is funny, the more I get into the girl with the pearl earring, the more it looks like my ex wife. I wonder what that is about. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
