AN N SCALE RS-3M-?

(Image of a Housatonic Railroad RS-3m  found on Google)

–

A long-held modelers’ dream,

Doing custom modeling…

Certain railroads

Extended locos,

Lives economically!

–

RS-3 diesel engines on the main

Were rather hard to maintain…

EMD units

In crashes came though it,

These newer engines to the RS-3 came.

–

The ALCO RS-3’s “two-forty-four”

Diesel engines were used no more…

They put an EMD

Into the RS-3,

Made a hybrid which lasted years more!

–

This modeler’s vision is fading,

Tiny N scale’s quite a lading…

Too much for me

Small parts to see,

The project he’s begun evading.

N SCALE INVENTORY REDUCTION

A necessary story,

Reducing inventory….

Too much to store–

Can’t buy any more–

The results of trying it–gory!

–

Collection reduction in size,

With E-Bay he had bigger eyes…

Not all fit

So get rid of it,

Someone else gets a pleasant surprise!

–

KATO, LIFE-LIKE and more,

Model trains I’ve seen before…

Standardizing

Is realizing,

Maintaining many brands is a chore!*

(Is for the real railroads, too!)

–

What to do with the proceeds,

If any—for charitable deeds…

Perhaps the Boy Scouts–

A troop hereabouts–

May have some project needs?
