I found this on my door step yesterday, Always wanted a big Hudson. Picked the N&W up a month or so ago, It was a shelf Queen, though I found out why, after working over the e-unit and some motor work it runs great. Well I guess Ill just keep adding to my collection. I really like MPC engines , I now have quite a few and they work well for me.  Have a nice day.New York Central 783 4-6-4 Hudson Lionel 8406 pic 1783 NYC Hudson Tender pic 1N&W J-class 4-8-4 6-8100 p3

Just picked up An MTH GE "Evolution" ES44 diesel with the charging lights. Also found the caboose and blinking boxcar with same scheme. Today ordered non-blinking boxcar and laboratory car. MTH also putting out flatcar with bulkheads this month. All same scheme. MTH doesn't need my help to sell these but WOW! are they awesome. I have been debating back and forth as to get or not, because they don't fit the theme of my railroad which is steam and early diesel; Pennsylvania RR and Chesapeake and Ohio. The opportunity came up and I caved in.

Nice grab Bob. Do you have a picture of the "blinking boxcar"? I wonder if the chasing lights could be put on the bulkhead flats as well - that would make for a nice show behind that engine.

The kids ( who am I kidding ) would love em.

I picked up these two Williams Amtrak items today. I think both come from the late pre-Bachmann Williams era. The E-60 is interesting because unlike most of the older versions it has both the 3 axel trucks and it has a different number than the long running  number 960. This one is numbered 964. I already have a modified and partly repainted #960 so I was happy to pick this one up as a new project. It will get a partial repaint to a black top like my 960 and some window screen rock guards.

I also got a Williams Metroliner. I've wanted one for awhile. Of course now that I have this one it pretty much guarantees that Lionel will make thier slightly smaller than  scale cab control car from the HHP-8 set into a Metroliner because that is my luck.

Here are is my old 960 with it's Lionel F3 trucks on my old, now defunct shelf layout. A flavor of the future of the 964.

Nice find on those railroad passes, and slightly cheaper than the silver filigree ones Otto Mears used to hand out for his SW Colorado narrow gauge lines.  Today, in a train show, I found a book on Canadian grain elevators, published in 1998, and lamenting their passing and demolition.  Years ago I attended the Calgary Stampede rodeo, and drove out into the prairie to photograph a few of these...that was about 1980.  As a big fan of grain elevators and mining ghost towns, I was a little startled to learn that these were then being torn down at a rapid pace, and that their towns, with the track pulled up, and the elevators gone, were turning into ghost towns on the prairie.  Made me wish I had gone back or at least phtographed more of them.  The book is "Wheat Kings", by Greg McDonnell.  An interesting thing about Canadian prairie elevators, is that there were often rows of wooden ones beside the track, often painted  barn red.  While in Kansas, etc., you might find two or three in a town, but not lined up like tin soldiers.

Well yes, I purchased two 072 Fastrack switches, and an 072 Fastrack wye.  I am installing a siding(s) to park locomotives on the outside loop of my layout.  I am tired of having to pick up a locomotive and remove it from the layout so I can run a different locomotive.  Pics will follow when I finish.  I also purchased some 2 x 2 x 3/16 square tubing and some 2" pipe.  I am fabricating my own "Top side Creeper."  Ill have pics of it was well. 

way to much stuff !! I need to bring everything in the back door so the wife doesn't see it LOL no she knows she can hear the credit card crying. LOL
started off with 2 more k-line Santa Fe aluminum hoppers, then found a MTH chessie steam special ps 2.0 , then ordered a bunch of stuff from lionel to fix upgrade some engines , then bought a err cruise commander and cruise commander lite and 2 sound commanders, then 2 036 remote switches then 2 072 remote switches then  5 more signals from china and there control boards then saw 2 cantilever signals from them too so got that I think I am done for awhile since that doesn't include the 6 korber building I bought too. or the pink foam for scenery. so I should have enough to keep me busy for the rest of the year LOL this doesn't include the shingles I bought to finish off the station too. or led lights LOL man the credit card is crying  you don't realize it until you write it down.

392....and just what might that be in? hope an old mopar! (pics?) 383 in my road runner.

Yes the 392 ci (originally) is out of my first auto.  A 1958 Chrysler New Yorker convertible.  Once on the Ohio Turnpike driving to Cleveland for a science fair race a new 409 Chevy.  My speedometer hashed up to 130 mph, with the peg about another 10 mph.  My speedometer was pegged and the 409 was not pulling away.
