I have re-assembled this model after cleaning and repair of broken and missing parts. It was a rather sparse in details, and I did not add any to this project just to keep the appearance original. Some small items still need tweaking, but, for the most part it is done. This is the first Akane model that I have seen that came with a serial / production number. This one is number 93, and it is stamped in several locations with the number. These are common models, so this must be number 93 of hundreds made. This is the 1959 run year, with un-sprung drivers. The videos are the first and second test runs after assembly, they are not good, but, you get the idea anyway.
I wanted to see how slow this model could run without stalling. It's an old Gem Models SP AC-9 that I upgraded from the original open frame motor to a large can motor.

A model of the former Milwaukee Union station is seen on one of Kalmbach Media's HO-scale layouts.
The real Milwaukee Union Station has been demolished with a new station built on its site. I wish the old station could have been preserved somehow when the new intermodal station was built. I liked its 1960s-style architecture
Notice the Milwaukee Racine & Troy passenger cars in the foreground. They're from Rapido Trains and they're based on VIA Rail Canada's "Daynighter" coaches. .
Here are a few recent additions to my brass locomotive collection. This is a very special model to me, it was a gift from a friend.

Here are a few older HO scale brass models of articulated steam locomotives. I am not a great photographer, but, I do the best I can with what I have. All photos are of different models, even though you may see several of the same type of engine in this set. - Akane Models - Southern Pacific AC-11/12 4-8-8-2 imported 1959. (Simple Articulated)

This is a Custom Brass New York Central P-2A Electric Locomotive in HO scale that I bought recently. I spent this weekend repairing it. It was a basket case and was missing some parts. I still have to find a pantograph shoe for the roof to complete it, but, now it looks much better and runs very well.
