I hope you had a great New Year andincluded, among your resolutions, a promiseto spend more time with your trains!Each year’s first issue of Historic Rail isalways one of the most popular, and I expectthis year will be no exception. That’s notbecause this issue has better products than theothers (although, with the HO scale Class Y6blocomotive below, the fascinating book, TheMan Who Wrecked 146 Locomotives on page64, and more than 1,000 great products inbetween,this edition will be hard to beat);rather, it’s because this is one of the best timesof year to enjoy your trains.Let’s face it – it’s cold out. Here inMinnesota, it’s downright freezing. Butwhether you’re in Alaska or Alabama, yourtrain room can take you straight to Altoona –or wherever, and whenever, you want to be.And we’ve got the products to help make ithappen. So, take a look inside to find everythingfrom model black bears and ice skatersto Pioneer Zephyrs (a new, twin-headlightmodel on page 34), O scale Hudsons (page 5),and flatcars with motorcycles (page 61).About Our Models...Unless otherwise noted, all of the HO scale models in this catalog feature metal wheels and magnetically operated knuckle couplers, and arrive ready to run.Typically, most N scale rolling stock models come with plastic wheels.
