The Model Railroader forum is amazing. Concerning the "Mystery Loco" in my last post, I received two replies almost immendiately. Both gave informative details about the little Southern steam engine. Check it out:

This is obviously the correct, Tyco, locomotive. AND, the timing is about right, around 1976. My son would have been about three years old, and I was probably getting ready to introduce him to HO Gauge at a young age. I also have several copies of "Model Railroader" and "Railroad Model Craftsman" from the mid-1970's. These magazines are stacked with some from the mid-1950's, when I first became interested in HO Gauge trains. Frankly, the current "go-around" with this hobby is the farthest I've ever gotten. Wonder how far it will go. . . ?
