Ron's S gauge rolling stock 2/6/10—10/28/20

I had a small Flyer set prior to volunteering to take over our large scale layout, a 21160 loco, 24309 tank, 24110 gon and 24603 caboose. I remember my Dad having it, but I don't know why as he was never into model trains. I set it up once and ran it, but being into HO never did anything with it until now. The S gauge loop was finished in February 2009. I've since bought the additional cars and locos you see here. I tend to buy only cars that have plausible markings and resemble real equipment. I've included a real photo where I have one. I have a lot of gondolas, they are the least costly Flyer cars and I plan on loading them with gifts at Christmas time. I've tried to obtain at least one of each car type for the club layout.
