A few things I've acquired over the summer.

A Lionel Postwar 41 switcher.  Body and window struts are all intact, however it is missing the front coupler which will be an easy fix.

I picked up the older Lionel TMCC N&W 611, the N&W Auxiliary tender, as well as the newer 18" aluminum Pocahontas cars.  I also added the MTH N&W tool car, a modern NS gondola and a modern N&W caboose to mimic modern excursion run ferry moves.

I picked this up while visiting Scranton back in July.  We have a PS boxcar at work that was repainted several years ago into this Cotton Belt scheme.  Aside from the number, this model is identical to the appearance of that car.

I picked up this old MTH "General" and three W&A passenger cars that I intend to utilize on my public Christmas display at the Redford Theatre in Detroit this year.

I just got a decent deal on the Lionel JLC model of PRR 4866 today.  It'll join my currently inoperable JLC model of PRR GG1 4925 in pulling my MTH Congressional cars.  I'm looking forward to running this one as the 4925 was always a favorite of mine to run.

always liked that Cotton Belt scheme

So my new engine came today, and it really is brand new in the box. But it's got a manufacturing defect, which I'm not too upset about.

I checked the insides of the model and the only thing that is close to that area is the metal antenna. So I believe the person who assembled the model didn't allow the antenna to cool after soldering and thus the heat caused that area to warm up enough to where it got deformed like that.

The engine runs with absolutely no problems, so it's a keeper in my book. I don't really mind that melted spot, in fact I think it adds a bit of character to the model. I could give it a story of a tree fell on it, or something like that.

In any case, I can return the model in 30 days if that part of the engine starts bothering me.

Why let the ignorant seller laugh all the way to the bank with your money?

Regarding the melted BNSF engine, if the melted portion was not disclosed you may have reason to complain.  If it was sold "as is" then you are stuck with it.  The engine works and you can probably get a new shell.  Just hope it didn't cost too much.  If you are okay with it then fine with that.  We've all gotten burnt somewhere along the line so there is probably some pent up negative vibes thrown your way.  Take that with a grain of salt and move on.

Working on a Hospital Military consist to go behind my US Army 44 tonner.   After using for a while,  I'm not impressed by the Atlas Hospital cars, poor couplers.   Saturday the USPS dropped this MTH 4 car flat set with 2 ambulances each.  Check out the packing job by MTH.  It looks like they bandaged up the Dodge Trucks on the flatcar LOL.  Takes forever to unpack. Still have one more to go.

Well Mike, what do you think?

Matt, Now that really looks SHARP! I was a little worried from the first picture, but after you took all the bandages off, really looks nice! Great job!

Looks good Bob, I am thinking you got the better end of your deal for them! Maybe if you grow your layout Paul aka APPLES55 will sell you what you need! LOL

Paul, not my kind of engines, But I sure do like your engine service house! NICE!

Finally got some time to unpack my new-to-me Rail King D&H streamline coaches. Very nice set of cars. Going to look at adding passengers in the future.

Bob

Ultimately I will be going for this.....

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), these won’t run on O-27 curves...

I hope to get rid of my 027 and go to bigger curves one day.......I will have to open negotiations with the landlord/ CEO for additional land rights first.

Mike... please don’t give Bob any ideas!!!

And you don’t like PA’s??? HERESY   I have a couple of sets - D&H, Pennsy, NYC, Santa Fe, Erie, and New Haven.

Thanks for the kind words on the engine house - that is a Korber model which I bought built up at York a couple of years ago. It was built (and signed) by Alex M.

Well today marks the day that phase one of the yard improvement is nearing completion. All I have to do now is finish nailing tracks and start adding ties to where I removed them due to cut track. Phase 2 will consist of smaller buildings and lighting.C39F9939-1AAD-4A9C-A707-78602FE9A54CEF875BBF-BBD2-4E06-A869-7E8982A10C6A40FAEBE7-7AE1-49AA-BFBC-1D37E5D97EB8Here is the new car shop that is 90% complete. Hoping to finish up tomorrow and start planning the supply list for phase 2 improvements.

Carl ,

keep in mind it is HO , if interested in a Oscale  2 track one , very similar but different enough not to cause any issues with Walthers

I have one made but not assembled , email in my profile for any interested parties .
