Greetings,

I have owned a post war Adriatic 2-6-4 locomotive for as long as I can remember.  There is a Baby Ruth boxcar with it and some newer freight that my grandpa purchased for me.  I typically get it out at Christmas.  I have also been on Ebay and I picked up a 2-6-2 Prairie locomotive 2026 and a few other post war freight cars.  I have some O27 track that is a bit beat up.  I would like to get better track but kind of at a loss which way to go.  I have my eyes on a few post war Berkshires and have read they do not run on the O27 track.  So I joined this forum to see what information I can pick up.

Thanks everyone.
