Matt,

That's a good looking piece of wall art..congratulations.

 

I needed some parts to complete a small O-Gauge passenger car. I called a dear friend in Florida to see if he had any. He had just the part. He said that he would mail the half dozen parts to me. I didn't think about it any longer. The parts arrived in a priority mailer. Inside the USPS mailer was a like new Parts Envelope from Madison Hardware that had my parts..                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

I picked up some items at the Hamburg, PA show last Sunday:

 

6464-525 M&StL Boxcar and 6802 LL flat with girders to complete a 1958 Super O GP9 set for the dealer I repair for.  He has the other cars, the GP in OB and the set box.

 

A chrome Marx two light tower.  I'm trying to replace the black towers on my layout with the harder to find chrome ones.  I've got 6 or 7 now.

 

Many parts.  The two shops I service for continue to keep me very busy.

Nothing since that Stone Mill kit I hunted for a few years.  I have it  built and am building it a log flume ...only about 3/5th of one of two towers needed built cutting and notching bamboo stakes.Not an exciting job, and I am a slacker, but am even thinking about building a cabin and log shafthouse from this stuff...hope I forget about that.  Uh, wasn't that Drake (first) Oil Well in Pa. built with logs? (never mind)

Guys!!! That is not just some poster that you can get at Michaels. That is a signed and numbered Angela Trotta Thomas print circa 2001. She only made 750. Only the frame came from Michaels. I have a copy too. I met Angela at the TCA convention in 2002 and bought that one and two others.

 

I recently scored a goodie from Trainz on the bay. I finally found a K-line 21" Milwaukee Road skytop obs to complete my set which will be pulled by 261, for excursion specials on my layout. It should be here later this week.

Recently I made a couple of acquisitions at incredible prices.  The first was a Lionel legacy SD 70ACE in the fantasy Virginian livery for only $320.00 from Sidetrack Hobbies.  The other was a set of MTH 418 Standard Gauge orange Passenger cars I won on E-Bay for the incredible price of $230.00.  This set is in virtually like new condition.  I don't get lucky very often so this was quite unusual for me.

Great find Elliott. One of the nicest style observation cars ever made.

Thanks Brian, and I agree.

 

I should have thought to ask you this a long time ago. Did K-line ever release the six car Milwaukee Road set that included the Cedar Rapids? The one I found was the Dell Rapids. At this point, I'm just happy to have one, but if I was going to get picky about it, the Cedar Rapids would be the bomb.

the list is too long .

5-tunnel portals

3 retaining walls.

9 ore cars

2 coal cars

2 box cars

UP Berkshire JR

Crescent locomotive works station and 2 short 1 long platforms

Cresent Locomotive works servicing platforms

Cresent Locomotive works watchman shed

2 cruise commanders

1 SD40 T-2

6 fastrack switches

50 10 inch track

Don't ask my wife she might say I have an Issue. but the way she is looking at it it's cheaper than my hotrod. last summer it got new paint new suspension new trans new motor  new radiator new drive shaft, new exhaust. new sound system, so trains are cheaper
