Description

Two Photographs of an award winning model train build by William Basden of Hialeah, Florida. On the train are "490" and "Texas & Pacific." There are also two paragraphs of text mounted next to the photos. The first paragraph describes the train as an "0-8-0 switcher of Texas & Pacific design." The second paragraph describes the process of building the model and the scores it received. At the bottom of the image is a clipping of the Model Railroader Logo and volume information.
