The Wild, Wild West...
Author: lizzard45

I took the old TYCO ten wheeler, and detailed it for the Utah & Pleasant Valley Railway, naming the locomotive the James E. Talmage. The cars will be named Wayfarer and Wanderer.
I have been a fan of the TV show The Wild, Wild West and thought I needed an HO version of the train James West and Artemis Gordon traveled in.
The baggage car is an MDC/Roundhouse model, and the two coaches are old TYCO cars.

I also had that Tyco trainset in my youth, I got it when mom and dad set my 4'x8' model railroad outdoors so they could use the table for a garage sale and the sun melted everything.... Drove me over to our local hobby shop and let me pick out something to sooth my tears, and I chose that Tyco set from the offerings at the hobby shop....  Mine is long gone now, but it never looked this good!  Nice work to honor a great TV show from our youth.

Yes, that was/is a great show. Would love to see the re-runs back east here.

I bought the DVD set of the entire series a few years ago. Also a book, which includes details about the train.
