Swift Fox's Miniatures
« on: March 11, 2019, 03:07:12 pm »
Thought i'd share a photo of my miniature engine collection from several years ago, some of those engines have moved on and i plan to take another photo of my current collection and post it up here in the next few days.

For now enjoy a pastblast from 2011:

Philip, I have drastically reduced my total number of steam engines...but like you, I have a soft spot for the little ones and have most I've purchased still on hand.  As you note, they don't take up much space!!!
