Check is in the mail. Hopefully I will be #1!

PS: When I was probably 8 (1990) I saw an advertisement in Model Railroader magazine for Little Engines and ordered one of their catalogs, probably over the phone. It arrived and accompanying it was an invoice for something like $8 for the cost of the catalog. My mother saw it, decided that this was too much to pay for a train magazine, and promptly wrote "return to sender" and sent it back. I never got a chance to read it. I purchased a LE catalog in 2008 so I do have at least one, but this one looks really nice!

Highiron,
I believe I read you are the hew owner of "Little Engines" supply?
I wonder if you also have older catalogs, say back in the 70`s.
Thank you.

Mike,

Just received the new catalog and .. WOW! I was blown away with its quality and content. This isn't some cheap photocopied stack of pages. This catalog looks professional from every angle; printing, binding, typography and layout. I really like seeing pictures of all the different castings you offer. You and or someone has put a lot of time into this and I don't feel a bit of remorse paying the $20 unlike I have with some past 'catalog's. Bravo!!

Hello, My name is Stephen Quandt, I have a Little Engine catalog from 1977/78 that is in very good shape. Would you like to have it? I do not know if you have one but I would like to give it to you anyway. I have had it since it came out, I am building the 4-8-4 northern in 3/4 " scale, same as my great uncle Gordon W. Gorwin . His picture is in the Catalog on page 66. Please let me know if you want it.

Hello Stheve

Thank you for your offer , but I have several copies of that catalog...as far as building a 3/4" Northern I am sorry to say I do not offer it, Little Engines was split up by the previous owner about 2004 or so and the man, named Russ Stewart who bought the smaller scales line has vanished

Thanks for your offer, if I can help with the larger scales we offer I will be glad to

Mike
