Buy anything cool lately?

The local toy train dealer here received 80-boxes of "stuff" Mon. or Tue.  It was not until Thursday to they got to my PRR Cabin car Lionel 6-82629.

 

This is a quick snap taken with old pocket camera.  After looking at the pic posted on the "weekend" thread saw something which will start a separate post on later.

Just received my MTH New Haven C-liner.

 

 

Scored these two Lionel flags off the bay. Never seen this style before.

They should look great at our club show. Planning on hanging them from our modular layout

That's cool, I'll have to find one of those!

This came USPS yesterday afternoon

Dropped by my LHS on Saturday and he was having a blow out sale on Atlas O Trainman RSD4/5 decorated for St Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt) in Black Widow.  At $149.95 I could not resist and bought one.  It has the same horn and bell as a basic Williams Diesel.  No prime mover sounds.  It has the same excellent level of detail as other Atlas engines and runs great!!!!

Picked up these gems at Trainfest this weekend. Wish I had more time to visit all of the other sellers as well. There were a lot of nice items to be had!!

 

1. OGR's DVD

2. Police and thug from Scenic Express

3. City beggar from Model Tech Studios

4. Gas meters, fire alarms, water hoses and electric panel from Model Tech Studios

 

 

BigTruckPete, Apparently, you sure know how to make a vibrant scene. The figures might be static, but the whole ensemble you have crafted is full of life. It takes just a bit of imagination sprinkled onto the whole experience by a viewer to make it seem realistic and in motion. Cool stuff, that. IMHO.

The train show on Sunday yielded a number of 2 rail O antiques.  Because I wasn't able to resist, I'm now up to my brass in winter projects.  Both are kits from unknown manufacturers.  The Atlantic is sheet brass whereas the Mikado has a cast brass boiler.  Both have identical short tenders of sheet brass and branded Canadian Northern.

 

 

I'll save the other brass purchase for SWSAT.

Look good. Got my Lionel 253 today from a forum member. A little cleaning and some lube and runs nice behind a mix of pre and post war  metal passenger cars.

Bruce the two engines look great!!

 

Jim,

Sounds like another great purchase from a forum member!

Nice! 😍

86, whos are those?

This thing right here!

 

 

 

Thanks, I drooled over yours for a long time prior to finding these!  Can't tell you how many time I watched your youtube video of it.

OMI.  1991 Run.  Never out of box until I bought them.  I just couldn't help myself!

Nice!

Those are nice

My latest yard sale/flea market find:

 

I paid $20 for both of these vintage beauties.  They are huge and were made by Trade Mark in Japan.  Plus, they are in near mint condition with the boxes. 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't have it in hand yet but I just ordered the Sauerkraut factory from Menards So hopefully later today I will run down there to get it....................Paul

A 1940's Gilbert American Flyer HO Hudson with smoke and Choo Choo, still looking for a rear coupler for it. Any help would be appreciated.

I can help with cars to go with it, or rear coupler. I have some AF HO that I need to ditch.

Got my package from Scenic Express so now I can keep adding more shrubs. Plus a few other things...................Paul

Some Atlas O Coil cars.

 

 

And some Brennan's Model RR coal for the hoppers.

 

 

Forum member Lancer replied to my WTB post for GG Phantom flex track.  A couple of emails, Paypal, and USPS Priority mail and voila, 10 new sections of track arrived today for this year's Christmas layout.  Thanks, Lancer.

Another addition to the pile of projects is this Central Locomotive Works GP35.  I get to rework the last owners attempt at soldering.  He removed some of the excess solder with a small grinder, taking any underlying brass detail along with it.  There's already about 3 hours work put into filing away slop and defects.  A bind in a gearbox on one truck also needs attention.  It'll probably go back in the box for now.

 

 

Bruce

I love it when people do that!

Just received these this week, two of set of eight.  They would make interesting flat car loads.  At least temporarily until maybe I can find one or two extra ones.

 

 

 

Ron 

Picked up another M68 and a F39!

I'm so glad you found one. They are a rare animal. Usually Indigenous to o scale west and march meets.


       

Some few years ago there were two of the Pennsy trailers parked on an old Bessemer & Lake Erie branch line. I got photos but don't know what happened to them.

Eric

Not bad for diecast engines.

I guess the brass versions are really nice

I'd like to have seen those.

How do I contact you about the HO cars?

Score! The Pirates win the World Series!

I bought this the other day just because I like the paint scheme.

 

Excellent, Dan!!  At that time I was so young, the only Pirates player's name I knew was MAZ!!!
