New deliveries.
N&W Y-6B, Milwaukee passenger cars and motors.
I sold my vette that I've had for 26 years and got my government 'stimulus' check so I've got more hobby money to spend
I had space on the Milwaukee passenger train track for 4 more cars so found them on ebay. Three came in and another is 'on the way'.
The Milwaukee train is center in the picture.
Ordered enough 'very low current' draw motors.
N&W Y-6B 2-8-8-2.
Engine is from BLI with cast metal boiler and tender. This is a new release (2021) and one of the 'dealers' had a 10% Easter sale off the already marked down price so I 'bought'.

The cattle 'sounds' are from a BLI car.

Nicely detailed.
Road test:
Tye.
Marias pass.

Chumstick canyon trestle.
These first two cars are from my 'change from Lionel to HO'. My first HO train was a Gilbert HO Hudson freight set; Chuffing and smoke and 4 freight cars with track.
This is an all metal flat car with metal load.
The Gilbert set had this covered hopper: probably my first 'weathering' job.
A 'load' kit I picked up just a few years ago at a train show.
Most of the rest of the pictures are of my vintage metal Athearn/Varney and wood Silver Streak/Ambroid kits.
I think I've got 3 of these wood Ambroid cars.
Just a plastic car but an unusual load.
Back to wood kits.
Metal and wood kits.
Bachmann just brought out this poultry car this year.
