A 1933 poster advertising a special train movement:

I started out as a Santa Fe modeler with Lionel back in the mid 50's in San Diego. My Uncle was in HO and I "graduated" to that scale in the late 50's with a Varney F3 that I hand painted in Santa Fe blue and yellow. I so like blue and yellow that I still use it - now on my 1 and 1/2 inch to the foot R&M Lines. Despite all the HO scale Santa Fe models that I have, I am now most interested in getting RGS #20 4-6-0 in 2.5" to the foot scale to run on 7.5 inch gauge track. These things sound real, look real, and have to be worked by a real railroader to get over the line with a load and to stop safely.
