Free WWII Movie
"The
Train"
Watch this
Burt Lancaster film on-line any time for free.
A French
railroader vs. Nazis. Guess who wins! Technically very accurate.
Cool loco crash filmed with real locos under steam. Great story line.
A real classic!

Satisfaction Survey for battery and gasoline locomotives
If you
purchased a locomotive (not steam) in the past 36 months, I want to hear from
you.
If you're
happy or even if you're not happy with your locomotive, I want to hear about it.
I'll ask you questions like:
-
Was the
manufacturer easy to reach?
-
Did
your locomotive arrive on time?
-
Did you
have problems with it?
-
Was it
worth the money?
Email me to request your "Satisfaction Survey" now
(in the text of your email type the word "survey". This survey
covers completed, ready-to-run locos only. No kits or "home built" units
please.

Issue 141
The House of David Railroad – Part I
by
Dave Schoeffler
Just outside Benton Harbor
Michigan, a small group of park train enthusiasts are toiling to revive
one of the premier miniature railroads of the early 20th century. When
reopened in 2010, The House of David Railroad will have the distinction
of faring passengers into a 2nd Century of use! Many readers already
know about this treasure. . . chances are, some of you actually rode
it. But, for those of you who didn’t get this opportunity I would like
to bring you up to speed with a little history, a few surprises and a
real live happy ending.
