Ive had my eye on this on the bay for over a year and I was waiting to get a good enough deal. Well, I finally pulled the trigger and got it for $325
Bought a pair of Atlas Trainman CNW gondolas and an MTH CNW Livestock car off da Bay. They arrived at the office today. Gotta fit Kadees on the livestock car.
I found this on that one site the day before my birfday. Ive been looking for this for a year and a half. The frame is a Micheal's off the shelf. Looks nice
I have had that print for several years, but haven't gotten around to getting it framed.

to much just today but some stuff I have been wanting and some stuff I thought would look cool.
these tanks to go with the linex tanks I already have one here one below.
tank to go with the other one I have and the tanks above
passenger cars to go with the challenger I got a few weeks ago.
bought 3 of these to go with the one I already have. going to repaint them all and detail for custom loads.
I thought this LCCA NS box car, Support Our Troops, would always be cool car to have. However, I never thought I would owe one because of difficulty of finding it. I have seen many of these overpriced on the bay, so I never seriously pursed to find one. However, when I saw this one up for auction, the bidding started off at reasonable price. On the last day of auction, there was only 1 bid on it, so I put up a good maximum bid on it, but I was still thinking someone will surely out bid me on this one. I was surprised when no further bids were placed and I won the auction for little less than the original price when it came out a few years ago! The car was listed as used, but when I took it out the box, it appeared to have no run time!
This Southern Pelican LCCA box car I have been searching for for several months to match my other NS Southern Heritage cars that I have in my collection. Again, I got this one at a reasonable price, new in the box, and I was the only bidder on it!
It is always nice to find something you want and not to have to pay arm and leg for it!
it never fails tho you order a bunch of stuff and things you have been waiting on show up for auction and you already spent your budget for the month but so much for budgets I guess. the 3 passenger cars to match the engine I got about a month ago.
KJSTRains, your Support Our Troops car is AWESOME. I'm hoping to find one!!!

Me too....
Got my LCS Wi-Fi hardware last night. This thing is pretty cool
Ordered the MTH MONON AA set with passenger cars in Gray and Red from MR. Muffins Trains. Looking forward to seeing it.
I don't know if this counts, new to this group and O gauge trains, unless you count the one I got for Christmas in 1948. Still trying to build my first layout, so much I don't know, but I have bought some engines and cars in preparation. I love large steamers I remember as a kid and I was able to find a new Lionel 9000 class UP engine, I couldn't believe how beautiful it is, the twelve drivers are something to behold. I thought my SF Texan was big. I see from other posts I should have a photo.
And I also go this last week. I found one and then proceeded to give it to my uncle since he is a marine and Vietnam Vet so I hope I can find one for myself
I have been trying to locate this Lionel operating accessory for some time now. Finally located one and it will be a great addition to my new Army yard. It does come with the matching armory car.

Its led's that light up. nothing fancy. It does have a FRED too
Larry, did you find that on FEEbay? there was one that went for $450 the other day i wanted to buy
I finally bought my first set of Lionel aluminum passenger cars for my collection, and one from the year I was born (1993): The California Zephyr. It will be a week until they arrive at my front door, but I don't regret buying it a bit. Always a favorite, glamorous set of mine, and at a steal price of $375!
A 5-car K-Line 15" aluminum Lackawanna Phoebe Snow passenger set. The 15" cars look good on my O54, O63 and O72 curves. I'm also getting an ABA F-3 set to pull them. I also got a 1956 Desoto 1/43 die-cast. I've been wanting a Desoto for a long time!
Just received my new PWC Wabash F-3 from Nassau Hobbies they are perfect. They pull my postwar rolling stock with no problem.

Ive been looking for K-line hoppers like that forever. Im jealous
yea I thought I was going to get 3 more on dash but the guy has a bid that is crazy it's at $318 now. I paid $71 so 3x$71 is $210 way less than current price. thought it would be cool to have 4 but not at that price .
New to me, from a fellow OGR member, a Marx Mercury Wind Up set.

Dang, how did I miss those. I check DASH all the time
I bought one of these yesterday and donated it to the Virginia Museum of Transportation.

Four months ago I bought a 3rd Rail PRR P70 from a forum member for $75 to be part of a scale sized commuter train I'm putting together. Thought it was like a GGD one; plastic. When I opened the box and saw it was brass, I was a little surprised. A great looking car, but I'm not sure it is better than GGD's. Because it is a little different than GGD's plastic P70s, I plan to run this as a coach with my GGD 1948 streamliner set.
I bought one of these on the recommendation of Jeff Kane who thought I'd like the challenge of getting one of these Postwar 3360s back in running condition. "Challenge" was an understatement. The complexity of the engineering that went into these little bad boys is amazing. It runs perfectly now and was a blast to work on. It does, however, sound like a coffee grinder in action. Goes with the territory on these.

Really like that, you did a terrific job. I would build an old work train to show off that piece of equipment.
Oregon,
Thank you! And I'm thinking of doing exactly that.
another yellow bonnet.
MTH ps 2.0 with all 6 passenger cars. I already had 3 add on cars and a second engine. so A-A and 9 passenger cars. I hope to be done buying for awhile. I also should get my challenger back tomorrow per the tracking number out of space on the layout to park trains. sounds like I need more shelves.
A fully assembled and painted but unlettered 0-6-0 in TT for my multi scale collection. Now, all I need is a Lionel OO gauge steamer. Then I will have all of the major and two minor (orphan) scales - all in NYC.
