GREAT TRAIN STORE
On Friday I visited my son and his wife in Tehachapi California. This is where the famous Tehachapi loop is. I went to the local train store Trains Ect. This was a great store. They have a large selection of new trains and accessories. They also have a lot of vintage tinplate on consignment. I did not find any Dorfans however, they did have Lionel, Marx, American Flyer and Ives. I bought several light bulbs for my layout and a couple of vintage Marx cars.

On Saturday I went to Santa Susana park in Simi Valley Ca. for a model railroad train swap meet. This was next to the Santa Susana station. The meet was put on by the Railroad Historical Society. I did not find any deals on Dorfan trains but I did find some landscaping, Lionel billboards and a crossing sign controller. It is not always about the deals but it's about hanging out with your own kind (old guys in overalls wearing an engineers hat and eating doughnuts).
Barbara's wide gauge
Barbara, thank you for the photos of your Dorfan wide gauge. Barbara is a member of the TCA and has a large collection of tinplate which she operates on her big layout.
Paul's trains
Here are photos submitted by Paul. These great examples of Dorfan belonged to Paul's father. They look in great shape.
