It's Friday and time for the OGF Star of the Weekend. This week, we have selected David1 (David) who I have known in our O-Gauge hobby for many years. David is always congenial to meet where I see him most often in the Halls at the York Meet. His favorite railroad, the Union Pacific.
As always, let's make the FFF a huge success this week.

Congrats/congas Dave. Always happy to oblige where the UP is concerned. This is one of a couple of the MTH versions I have, the monster UP80 coal turbine - a real behemoth: This has just had a glorified tire change on my makeshift workbench. It has 12 traction tires in total, most on the B unit. Maybe it’s overkill but there are 4 motors, 10 powered axles, 3 smoke units and 2 sound systems (it was a PS to PS2 conversion):

Congrats on being the Start of the Week David! Very high honor on the OGF.
I don't have any UP, but I will share video of my new B&M passenger cars sometime this weekend.
