O Scale South Shore Model Sighting!

In a sort of sad post announcing the retirement of O scale custom traction model maker Jean Deschenes, Ed Halstead at the Modeling Insull's Empire in O Scale blog posted awesome pictures of O scale South Shore equipment built by Jean.

This is awesome stuff. . . very inspiring! Makes me want to go out and build South Shore models!

Jean's retirement ain't exactly premature or undeserved--he's been at it since 1965! Says he wants more time for his ship modeling.  And the models look great . . . go check out the post and see for yourself.
