"Loco Lee" joins the team!

Hi Folks:

More exciting news today as Lee Wheelbarger "Loco Lee" joins the ET Team! Lee Wheelbarger is taking charge of the train that was donated by Bachmann Trains, and is really going to do it up. He is adding a QSI Imulator that will make the train chug, smoke in sink with the chugging, have a fire box glow under the train that sinks with the chugging and putting in a lighting system that will flicker like the real oil lamps of the day. He has also recruited a friend Jim Manzone, to paint and weather the engines and cars so they look as real as real can be on camera.

When real railroad presidents want models  of their locomotives done, "Loco Lee" is the guy they call. He also has over 500 model locomotives in this personal collection.

Lee is so good and so famous for his work making model trains look real that he is doing the model G-Scale trains that will run under the National Christma Tree in Washington D.C. this Christmas season.  We are extremely lucky to have "Loco Lee" and Jim Manzone working on this project.
