Some neat stuff over the last 10 days or so. Although today might beat it all(that’ll come later though)
Was ecstatic to walk into my LHS and find three mth railking passenger car 4 packs, some 2 packs and a single...all from the Lehigh Valley RR! And all 4 packs were different- bright red, dark red/brown and this scheme:
Bought the single, have the 4 pack on hold and will be getting it shortly! As I live in the Lehigh Valley, these are tough to find.
Local Dutch auction win- $10 for the lot of 3 republic Steel cars, lcl containers, stakes, and the Postwar cape canaveral mercury project car. The last one is the one I wanted. The Caboose is my first unique Arts piece. GOt it last Sunday at a flash train meet
also from the flash train meet- for a good deal- Lionel NYC diecast depressed flat car/machine car.
also at the auction, got this MTH premier 20’ container for $10. Was attached, via rubber band, to a plain black flat car. Also got the CSX diecast flat car pictured via ebay and modified it to fit some intermodal containers
Speaking of containers. intermodal kick continues- although these aren’t scale. Finally arrived in the mail. Lionel maxi stack container 4 pack
STicking with intermodal but switching to scale(I think?) K-line diecast CSX Gunderson. While it says 48’ for the markings, the containers are really 40’- but at least they’re scale!
Random find at a LHS last week- MTH RK Husky Stack Norfolk Western container- again for $10. Considering MTH doesn’t sell extra railking intermodal containers, had to pounce
also from the flash train meet. Lionel Postwar 156 platform in g/VG condition. Nice deal too. Trying to buildout my platforms to make a large continuous passenger platform
Last Sunday, went to a hobby shop and found this for well under the going rate. Back-up secured!
This afternoon- picked up this Tinplate station circa 1902-1911. Super psyched about this pick up
Got some other stuff today too as my favorite hobby shop has a sale. Will post when I get home
