AHM/Rivarossi was known as "Poor Man's Brass" for its affordable and beautifully rendered steam locomotives. This one was received damaged in shipping, one of the very few locomotives I didn't barter or swap services for. After a year and a half pursuing the necessary repair parts and my first weathered steam work in many years, it graces my layout, a subtle reminder that God allows me to enjoy this hobby on His terms...He will not allow me to pursue it to the detriment of our eternal relationship.
The original ad announcing its release found in the December 1966 Model Railroader magazine---note the wheel configuration error that got past the editors---...
...the original product review found in the June 1967 Model Railroader Trade Topics...
...and finally, a clip of it running light on the club layout.
