Some things that I got over Thanksgiving that arrived last week:
Popped up online late one night and didn't hesitate after 7+ months of searching- Lionel Amtrak NPCU. What an awesome non-powered unit- while I've enjoyed running it in pair mode with my powered Lionel Legacy F40Phs, I like running it even more with different locos in a later paint scheme
Never thought I'd actually be posting this one since I was 99% sure I was going to return it- K-line 21" Superliner II Sleeper in Amtrak Phase IV livery. It was advertised as "3 rail" but came as 2 rail, which had me rather ticked because it was kinda pricey. But, after some research and the good fortune of having appropriate extra trucks, I converted it back to 3 rail and it works fine!
Closer shot
Some freight rolling stock: Conrail is such a versatile road name geographically, and I also love Conrail from when I was a kid. Atlas O Trainman Conrail flat with load and Lionel Conrail 3 bay open hopper(with NYC patch denoting CSX ownership)
Atlas O Burlington Northern 53' Evans DD boxcar and Lionel Union Pacific "patched" SP merger boxcar with auto frames. The UP is lacking a bit in certain details but I really like "merger" locos and rolling stock with "patches" or "overstepped" features.- IMO it does a good job in that regards
