They are fast, beautiful, but they are broach coaches
with only crouching room inside.

Because you can broach and never fall out of your bunk (at least in the
pipe
berth). Because it weighs less than the average SUV. Because sailing
fast

Do you run G gauge?
How about steam models?

I have a nice Aristo Craft G scale steam Christmas passenger set that I
run under the Christmas tree some years. As far as '0' gauge steam
goes I have a MTH C&O 2-6-6-2 Allegeheny articulated, a MTH scale 2-8-0
Western Maryland Consolidation, a Lionel scale 2-8-2 Frisco Mikado and
a Lionel 2026 from when I was a kid.

Currently I'm building a 1:87 Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. That's a manly

Amen!

Can't be "manly" if it's 1/87. Amen. :-)
