They are nice Ogaugeguy!!

And they already have snow on the car roofs.  What a novel idea.  

Looking mighty good!!

I just bought this one (Atlas O 45' Pines Trailer) on eBay. It's one of four that I won on a recent auction.

 

It's pretty hard to find one, nevermind a case (all 4 road #s), of an item that came out 11 years ago. That's why I didn't pass on these even though I don't have any intermodal equipment on which to place them. So, I'll have to find a couple of 89' 4" flat cars or some Front Runners.

 

These would look great behind my 2 MTH SCL SD45s...

What do you mean, Adriatic, by "(...improved the catalog format. Nope.)"? I don't understand. If you're referring to possible misinformation in the catalog description for this set, I'll try to clear up whatever it is - just explain what bothers you.

Just after there was a thread running involving identifying a Marx set from VOL III, the

Greenberg Marx set book, I found an early 3/16 set this morning, 9/26, in a show and

picked it up.  The book identifies it as #25010, with a #391 engine, the wedge tender,

a Pa. brown box car vs. red UP one, the 13079 hopper, and the #2700 vs. 33773 flat,

WITH its timber load, all in played with condition, tilt fork couplers, no original box

(worse luck!), a pair of the red operating Marx switches, a Lionel crossing gate with the attached lighted crossbuck, and a Lionel 110 watt RW transformer.   It has a

crossover with it and Marx track.  I had to spring $25.00 for this.  Did I overpay?

Here are some from the last couple of months:

 

This Cross Harbor Round Roof Boxcar from NLOE is very cool:

124

 

This Red Baron Tank Car from NETCA is also pretty sharp:

 

 

204

207

 

This new MTH Premier Narragansett Beer TOFC is going to be a nice addition to the New England consist.

115

 

I also picked up a couple of the METCA S Gauge ILNY Boxcars:

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Ogaugeguy!  You are absolutely right!

Looks like I "bought" a new reply I wasn't really counting on .

  Thank you Ogaugeguy, sorry for "squeaking". The toe step was accidental. I'm good at that . (I'm not really looking to have you send me "paper" as you have graciously offered in the past, but I'll say thank you again, in anticipation of the effort)

  No particular lack of info, missed feature listing, bad photo, or other mistake of that type that I noticed*.

   By "format", I mean its the same viewing app. that I've had "issue" with since day one. Weak zoom control. Like using a telescope through a porthole in a storm.

 *I only browse to get to my "target". Its too small to read the others, and too finicky to zoom, to be tolerable outside of a "target", let alone enjoyable, despite loving the subject.

 That's the short version, and I'm a little fish. If more truly interests you, you are more than welcome to ask me personally by my email too, but rather than bash on things "I" just don't care for, how about sharing your best close up photo of one of those AF's I liked the look of?

Please?

 

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

Within this 3 rail life, a little 2 rail must fall.  It has been fascinating comparing this old Atlas F3 to their modern product.  Rest assured, the new stuff is a vast improvement.  Check out the razor edge paint separation.  Other than motor, wheels and a few screws, everything else is made of plastic.  It does appear that the truck side frames are identical to the modern equivalent....the former plastic, the latter cast metal.

My Girlfriend & I were at a local "Redux"store (St. Vincent De Paul ) and we donated some item for resale. she found me a Lionel Rico station(missing one freight door on the end of the station. I found some Lionel switches and a Marx train set there on a earlier visit. I have another station in pieces, so replacing the door is not a problem. it was $5.00! Score!!!!

Finally able to find something to buy because my antique dealer is back from vacation. He just got in a Lionel 3560 search light car in good shape, a little dirty and the light works. Also had an old photo album with a bunch of old B&W photos of steamers- the NKP 227(sister of 765?), the Pere Marquette 1227, some Alco diesels , a Y6 and several C&Os plus others.

Just got back 2 days ago from t e week in NYC and a train trip across the country (Metro on the NE corridor to DC, the Capitol Limited, then the Empire Builder).

During the week, we went to Steamtown and Strasburg. Such a great time...

Got a fair amount of swag at the PA stops:

 

Oh, I also bought the camera I took this shot with, it's a new canon 24.2MP SLR! I got it at the main B&H store in Manhattan...

Jordan,

Well how about that!!  I never saw them before at all!

Hey from here in the south west. Went to Bixby Ok. today to a decent train show. Lots of nice goodies but just more than I wanted to spend. Did pick-up some items though while I was in Tulsa. I had purchased 7 books from a fellow on craigslist and he lived in Broken Arrow; so I met with him this morning and picked them up. Went to Ollie's Train Station Restaurant for lunch; really cool place for train folks.  they have lots of O-gauge and G-gauge trains to look at and 2 operating loops hanging from the ceiling and 1 shelf loop. Went over to Sand Springs to the toy train museum and while I was there I purchased the Texaco Tank car. Ollie's is just off of 244 west, on South West Blvd. The Toy Train Museum is on 126 Main St in Sand Springs. Had a big day.
