Buy anything cool lately?

I don't have any pictures, but the St. Pauli Girl beer I bought last Saturday was real COOL at about 35 degrees off the shelf.

Does this count?  And the label looks a lot like Mrs. Red Jimmy!

I had thought that there was a St. Pauli Girl Beer Refer somewhere in O-Scale, but I can't seem to find it in any search.

These came in the mail today. The windshields were broke on the cars but I got them fixed. I’ll get these on the layout ASAP the Lionel Boxcar will be repainted

Lee, I thought those two cars were pretty sharp, and that was BEFORE you removed the hoods. 

But why are you repainting the boxcar?

Thanks Vincent I’m repainting it to back date it to the 40s and rename it I bought it as a doner 

Went back to the Hobby Shop today in St Louis and came home with these nice Milk cars now this was a cool buy 

Milk will be MOOOOVING to town soon.

Milk cars are always great, Lee!

Marx Pennsy Herald Pedestrian footbridge- spans 2 lines of track and connects two parts of my layout.

AMT Santa Fe 3160 Coach & 5260 Combine Car with smooth roofs. Surprised how well that looked hooked up with some Railking passenger cars:

Got these faux stones for my open hopper cars, a cheap K-Line High Tension wire set, some road signs, and this cool Atlas O Scale Armour A.S.E.X. stock car. Unfortunately, didn’t reailize the Atlas was 2 rail so I’ll probably be returning it.

Finally a 1:43 scale Road Champs U.S. Parks Police to patrol the county fair:

Big day at the open-air market in Chapala!

1) The paint job on this 1953 Chevrolet is so ugly that I had a hard time paying 65 cents for it. But my wife says she will repaint it.

2) I'm storing items for my future Disney display and 2019 Christmas display.

3) Patch the Pirate and Diver Dan will be getting some extra help.

4) Things are getting crowded over on Sodor Island.

Before returning that atlas car try it on your track. I run those old atlas cars on my fast track all the time with no problems the wheels have high flanges like the 3rail cookie cutters

I collect these cars. I've got about 40 of them by now. It's amazing how many Lionel has made of these cars. 

A friend told me a dealer at an antique store had 50% off so went up  this morning and picked  up a nice 2055 with a nice tender. Runs nice. Didn't need it but the price was right.

Found this Lionel Legacy UP GP-7 #105 new on eBay as I really wanted to find one. The lights and sounds on this engine are fantastic.

Okay, what are these objects inside the milk car?

Hard to see details but stainless steel milk tanks ??

Here it is, my brand new Legacy command system for my home layout. So far I'm loving it and the control I get with my Lionel Southern ES44AC is absolutely amazing. And the best part is that I can use this at my local club and not have to settle with the Cab-1L system they have there. Not that the Cab-1L is a bad system,  it's just a limit for Legacy engines.

But yeah, I might post a video on it later. Whenever I have time to.

They are milk tanks. They actually were considered tank cars oddly enough.

Thank you. It actually makes sense--a boxcar carrying fresh milk?

          really like that engine Larry !    nice looking  !!

My dreams are finally coming true!

now I need to buy a tiu power up and I think I’ll be ready to start my venture into the mth dcs Wi-Fi system.

I just bought a Lionel 4006 Big Boy from another member on the "Buy or Sell" forum, my second major acquisition in less than 2 months. I know I really have to stop doing this, because I just display them, not run them, and my living room already has an entire 21-foot-long wall covered in bookcases, and another wall covered in original paperback artwork.

Here's the link to the locomotive in the Lionel catalog: http://tinyurl.com/y26dj5w4

And here's my artistic photo of the Big Boy in front of the Challenger I bought at the Greenberg show in New Jersey, less than 2 months ago. Please stop me before I commit "train" again!

Andrew, Congratulations on acquiring a Lionel Big Boy, just wondering if it’s a VisionLine, or JLC Version. Those monsters look really good. Thanks for posting.  Happy Railroading.(I see it’s a Lionmaster) that’s nice because it can operate on smaller diameter circles.. Thank You 

Is that a Lionelmaster bigboy? Just wondering. My dad and I love ours. 

Nevermind. I clicked on the link haha

Posted this over on What did you do....today,  already but this was such a great deal so.....

A co-worker is moving,  and clearing out his In-law's house at the same time. He gave me a great deal $200.00 for everything. The Scout set is nothing special but complete in the original box makes it a cool acquisition. The M-10000 set was his Father-in-law's. All original including the track, manual, transformer, rheostat. etc.  Most importantly BOTH VESTIBULES Copyright date in the manual is 1941.

Thanks Cody I was wondering how many were made. I’m going to get 2 more and call it quits 

thanks Larry

Sounds good. They made even more! I'll probably never get all of them. They made them for a number of club cars. My collection started because I ordered one for myself and then my dad ordered the same car for me too without him knowing it. It was fine though. I ran the two together and thought, I should buy more of these. haha

"...my living room already has an entire 21-foot-long wall covered in bookcases, and another wall covered in original paperback artwork."

Andrew, they have to go.

Andrew, the lion masters  are massive.  Thank you for posting!

Cody

I’ve been selling my HO stuff and I ran across all 6 of these in the Hobby Shop I just had to get them. I would like to see yours some day if there hand I might start a thread about them soon I would like to see all of the ones they made.

After waiting almost a month and a half, this finally arrived at my doorstep today.  T and I are going to have a fun project to do tomorrow!

Thad, I want to come to your house tomorrow.

Four of us went junk shop hunting today--Did we find any bargains?

Aye, Aye, Captain Bligh! This HMS Bounty in good condition has a working lamp! I'll be adding it to the pirate fleet in My Underwater Kingdom.

No, I have no use at all for this high-quality Snap-On Tool tube cutting set in perfect condition. So, what am I going to do with it? Brag on the internet about how I got it for only $1.

I like the ship, should look good on your layout.

Nice buy on the tubing flare kit, looks to be for double flaring tubing.

Got it it put together, but having a little difficulty getting the big hook strung.  Big PIA, but my eyes are starting to fail me and a pair of cheaters may be needed.  Will need to take a section of the job boom out to fit on the layout.  It’s an awesome die cast model, with very, very little brass nuts and bolts to get it assembled.  

Wow!!  Looks great Thaddeus!
