A Look at the Trains
Shadow the Kitten is bemused by Alaska RR F3 passenger train
When we started out looking into the Maisto International "On Track" 1/131 trains, we were met with this assortment. Though nowhere near the detail or crisp paintwork of Tillig, Atlas or LifeLike, these toys show decent detail and paint schemes. Detail was traded off for sturdiness.
From left to right, top: Wabash rear cupola caboose, Lionel Oil tank, Red Crown tank, Milwaukee 60' boxcar, M& STL four-bay hopper, Delaware & Hudson four-bay hopper, B&O 60' boxcar, Burlington GP38 Bottom: Texas & Pacific 0-6-0 steam switcher with tender, streamlined coaches. Santa Fe F3 |
