Everything is cool on your layout! ;-)

Thanks Mark. I guess you right with all that snow.  Of course by next month the wood ATSF waycar will be reconfigured and reflagged as an CB&Q waycar. I guess the ATSF purests out there will be screaming now. 

Lione89: That definitely will make a nice looking tunnel portal. Anyway some more stuff arrived the other day. OK cool for me.

My want list has become a list of hard to find items I want. So I figured after getting the email Aarons is now offering 40% off I took a ride there today. I had not been in there for quite some time and there is not much left considering what was in there to begin with. But I was able to get two Rail King water columns and for almost the price of one. In fact I got the last two. A pic of my buy...................PaulDSCN2305

I just bought 3 of these. More to follow...(9)

I found out 2 things as these are my first 89' 4" intermodal flat cars from Atlas. 1.) You cannot use the bridge plates with 2 45' trailers. There isn't enough clearance for the trailers since the plates are not hinged. And, 2.) The caboose derails going into an O-72 curve. I haven't tried it yet but I might be able to correct this if I put another car, like a Front Runner, ahead of the caboose. I'm just not sure if the Front Runner will derail. It's not a big deal either way as a unit train of flat cars probably looks better without a caboose.

Very nice Scanias there,do you have any more road haulage trucks?

 

 #1 son >ZackHowdy! I say Howdy, from down here in Chickenstick Arkansas ! How about this I know its not trains; but I just wanted to share it any way. Instead of laying train tracks; we go lay some rubber tracks. My sons first car, He bought and paid for this him self, but dad is the care taker of it until he turns 16 in about a year and a half. She's lean, mean and red. Price was right, it has less than 75,000 on it, sat for a lot of its life, Yes we had to throw a few extra bucks at it, some of the exhaust had  rusted away, it needed a tune up, and a brake master cylinder, other than that it is vey solid. She's 30 years old, but don't look a day over 20. Yummy! Oh yeah, Its numbers matching alsoWP_20160304_002

Quite a few. Other bad habit 1/43/1/50 European trucks. I have three( 1970s DAF and 2 x 1950s Mercedes) more that I bought from a Dealer in Portugal, that should be here in three weeks.

I just received this beautiful station from Crescent Locomotive Works. It fits an O-72 curve. My original plan was to place it in the rear of the layout, but due to changes I have made to the layout plan since I ordered the station, it would no longer fit in it's intended spot. I've moved it up to the front of the layout (much better visibility), but I can't use it in the intended manner (the three pieces should be end to end), but it still works for me.

And I went to Grzyboski's to pick up my 2015 National Train Day boxcar and, in a moment of weakness (and since Joe still had some in stock), I could no longer resist...

I passed on the 21 in. passenger cars - they are really too long for my space (and, frankly, I already have enough passenger cars!!!). And, since I am not a rivet counter, I have no problem using this beauty to pull my 20th Century Limited heavyweights.

Added this scale set of Lionel F3's ( 6-14536 & 6-14539 ) to the fleet.  Some modifications to cab lighting are in order, before the bulbs burn through the roof.  If it's not too destructive, I'll also try closing the gap between units.

From what I gather, these were the first scale F3 offerings by Lionel and they haven't been offered with Legacy yet?

Another 1/43rd Nash Ambassador has arrived, a 1939 sedan (they are now offering a coupe, but towns with all coupes are not based on reality, just my fantasy), to go with the 1935 one I had...this is a lot of top of the line Ambassadors for the boonies I model, but I like "orphan" makes.  I hope it dawns on them to make a low-priced Lafayette, as they have a Terraplane for a low priced Hudson prewar example.  The model car makers lately seem better at putting out interesting models than do the train makers, and are getting my money.

Still can't believe I managed to find a train order sheet from the ET&WNC, but better still, it has locomotive # 12 listed on it, and is from the year and time of year my layout takes place!

Lee

That's a great find.  How did you come across it?

EBay has been very good to me lately for rare stuff. The funny thing with a RR that not-so-well-known, hardly anyone else wants the stuff, but among who do, well, money is sometimes no object.

I saw an employee pass from that RR from 1938, and it ended at just shy of $900! My Mom has always referred to that as having more money than sense.

Oh, I belong to that RR's historical association, and they just issued membership cards for the first time ever. I love mine that I got the other day in the mail!
