This next row of photos is of Joe Ng's locomotive.  The fellow in the first photo in the blue jacket is my Daughters father in law John Dombrowski.  John has been an HO modeler for many yeas and has an encyclopedic knowledge of locomotives.  And a very nice guy too boot.  We had a nice day out together.
