Mark,
I have the Hudson as well a replacement truck just came this morning which I have to install. Have you ever seen any General Motors box cars, especially Pontiac?

Bob, I have never seen any of the GM boxcars. I would like to find more than the two I have.

Mark, I just messaged the seller and asked if he had any more.
FOR TODAY: The afternoon sun casts a shadow.
@pennsyfan posted:Oh no! The Farmingdale & Southern just acquired these box cars. Are they already surplus? What to do now?
I've had me eyes on all three of these on eBay but have never pulled the trigger. I do have gray Mopar Parts and orange Chevy boxcars. I would love a Dodge boxcar, I don't believe Weaver made one, and I'm looking for a Ford to round out the Big Three.
FOR TODAY: The Wiliger brothers, Bo and Ozzie are scrounging through the trackside junk pile as a freight train passes by. These fellers have a rather lucrative side hustle of collecting junk and selling what they've collected to scrap dealers. Bo yells to Ozzie " Hey Oz! I found some 16 gauge copper wire! A huge spool of it too. I'll bet there's enough here to wire 40 or 50 large O gauge train layouts!

Those cars are great, I wish I had them.. All from the Bay? I'll have to check...👍

Those Weaver cars show up on eBay quite often, especially the older cars like the DeSoto and Hudson cars. I've seen the Mopar boxcar one or two other times, don't recall seeing the Chevy boxcar again.

I asked the seller if he had any more. He said no.
FOR TODAY: A moving picture .... Ma & Pa Doodlebug creeps along the spur line as a B&O express passenger train whizzes by the station.

Here's my two. They're both Parts cars.
Gotta get the Ford

Yea Joe, I looked the other day, They had a Hudson, [one of my favorites] $149.99 LOL, a little too much... A few others, but again way overpriced. I will check periodically, as I would like to have at least one of the Chrysler cars...
Joe, those two, Chevy and Mopar, look great!
Patrick Nice view of your doodlebug going in or coming out of the mountain!
Joe nice looking Manufactures cars, I looked and see a chevy here and there. I didn't know they were in high demand!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
@Quarter Gauger 48 $149 WOW!!!!!! I remember before Weaver closed down Weaver cars were topping out at $25 and I picked up many for $18. Of course once they closed prices went up but I don't even look at Weaver over $45 unless it's one of those TOFCs which are pretty cool.

Remember this give-away from Mr. Miller at York? It's an animated, blinking window sign.

Larry thanks for posting these photos. There are perspectives of your layout I've never seen before. It looks like you have a level that is about head high and another closer to the ceiling. Is that correct?

Paul that sure is a sharp looking engine! I hope you get a.shot with the smoke billowing out.

I'll snap one for you Mike...I've got to run my steamers more often. Finally went to smoke for the first time over the holidays. Everyone seemed to like the pine scented smoke from JD's...!
Smoke is one of my favorites!
This is a unique one: the car is for Isalys - a Pittsburgh based iconic business specializing in their own blend of coffee. The smoke is coffee scented to match!
This steamer made the WHOLE room smell great with candy cane
