Amherst Railway Society Hobby Show Day 1 Finds

I will post photos once i get back home.

I scored two good buys:

1) a Bombardier folder with sales sheets for the wdw mark lV monorail, the Via Rail LRC, IC gallery car, and sales sheets with dimentions for the comment coaches for NJ Transit, mbta, Metro North, Septa. Also copies of the engineer blue prints of the comment cars/cab control cars and their windows and emergency exits

2) Mr. Muffins gave a good deal on a Railking H-10-44 w/ PS3.0

3) The turboliner book signed by the author.

No major purchases for me today...a book, a DVD, two bottles of Tru-Color paint and two packs of Kadee couplers. Had a great day with my son!

the new lionel N5b PRR caboose for $45 and the B&O PS1 sound box car for $60--all NIB --hobby shop closing had 50% off

The Lionel Budd Powered Passenger car was found by surprise I was looking for a Postwar 400 Budd powered passenger car but the ones I found were in not the best of shape and way beyond my budget for it so the 8764 will do never realized how large the 8764 is still a great car

That is one of five Budd cars that Lionel made in the late 1970's. There were two powered units and three dummy units. I agree that they are very nice cars. No horn, but I don't put batteries in my horn engines anyway.
A few years later Lionel also made four Budd cars decorated for Amtrak (one powered, three dummy).

IMHO, these cars are bargain priced.

I got very lucky and scored a couple of great finds.

First up is this Yellow PW Floodlight Tower. Have been looking for a nice yellow one for a long time and this one had the right price at the right condition.

I also grabbed a Chessie Sign and a cool pin that says "Star Track". Then I grabbed a railfan guide to New England

This Providence & Worcester Caboose followed me home:

My best find however is the Number Board from a Amtrak AEM that went by me countless times while I was taking pictures on the NEC. (North East Corridor). LOVE this item:

Great day up in Springfield MA.

Nothing purchased although it was a great day with terrific weather.  Enjoyed chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Muffin, Ken Jr from Trainland as well as Lauren from Lionel.  The Lionel booth was really hopping.  A lot of kids playing with the Lionchief sets. 

I had a great time at the show yesterday.

Lots of good deals for the New England road names.  My best deal was a PS2 Premier Maine Central RS- 11 in like new condition for $100.  It works perfectly just needs a new battery.
