Buy anything cool lately?

A pair of MTH Premier EMD DDA40X locomotives (one powered, one unpowered) From a fellow Forum member.

The C45ACCTE in the foreground is from m current collection, and is welcoming its new stablemates aboard.  The difference in size is quite apparent.  

The Centenniels are so long in fact that they can't negotiate our kitchen layout, due to the proximity of the scenery to the track in the curves.

Even more incentive to start the basement layout!

Rick

Those are awesome, I'm not a diesel guy but I'd own those in a heartbeat!  Always liked the MTH Premier EMD DDA40X!

Does this count?

It only took 31 pages but somebody finally put something literally cool up. OOOH-RA!!!

Rick, I love the UP double diesels. thats a great addition to any UP collection

my Dad did, this was in the mailbox this morning!

For me it is the long wanted Hi-Nose GP-30's that Lionel made for us.

The 2601 Southern reside here at the NCTM.  The N&W 522 was visiting the NCTM during the HS Heritage Event a few years back.

Ron

I don't think it rates Matt's OOOH-RA, but I just picked up my first LionChief Plus locomotive, the Phila & Reading Camelback.  I wanted to have one to get some first hand experience, and this is the first scale steamer I've seen in the LC+ line.

Initial impression is it's not bad for the priced point.  It has very good smoke, nice detailing, and excellent speed control and low speed performance.  The remote is simple, just the thing to introduce kids to command operation.

John, every post on here is worthy of a OOOH-RA!!!

MTH U.P. SD70Ace #8445, PS2 and a MTH BNSF SD70Ace #9378, PS3. Nice engines.

Yep, 17" long with the tender, near as I can see, that's a true 1:48 scale size, or very close to it.

Unless it was COD, that's a pleasant surprise!

Bruce

nope...no COD!! just thought I'd like it.

My first winter project for the up coming train season.

Been buying Weaver wood chip hoppers. Bought a bunch of wood chip loads from Don Kane. They sure add to the look of the cars. A couple of pics........Paul

Check out this packaging statement from MTH / RailKing

"THIS CAR SUBJECT TO ROLL-OVER THROUGH

CURVES AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS

PLEASE USE CAUTION"

First time I ever saw this in a RailKing Package....

Just bought a lot of 40 OGR back issues.  Got some reading to do...

I bought a williams SP F-7 B-unit on ebay and it came in saturday. I noticed it had pick-up rollers and thought it odd, Till I ran it! The unit has a sound board which has Prime Mover sounds and a air horn(I think) I was very Impressed. It also matches the SP F-7's I bought from ebay a while ago, with concurrent Numbers on the units. Looks very cool pulling my Post war Streamlined Lionel 2500 Passenger cars.

I just received this Williams by Bachmann F3 AA set in B&O livery.  I am going to use it to pull my set of K-Line heavyweights as a railfan train with two B&O cars, a Lackawanna Pullman and a TCA Special observation car.

Just won this little bugger on the bay, Lionel 665. Not too shabby for less than $120 landed! should be here in the cities by the end of the week. Great thread guys! I always enjoy seeing forum members new acquisitions!

got a box of Marx needing some TLC from a forum member. Thanks Gene.

Marx M10000 at the Clayton New York Train Fair

over the weekend.

what a beaut!!!

Locomotive and 5 passenger cars.

Government Mandated Roll Over Safety warnings for O Scale cars. Now we know why MTH canceled new offerings. All those lawsuits from O scale people. 

Playing catch up. Some real cool things posted

Videos show both newly assigned CB&Q GP7 and U28C(C&S) arriving at the Winteron yards for the first time. 

Picked up a few things. this weekend in Venice Fl

MTH Premier CB&Q GP7( Rare find at a Florida Train show)

1/24 scale 1950 Chevy Belar

Walt Disney's Rail Road Story

Late last month a Lionel CB&Q(C&S) U28C PHII Cant remember if posted Been a long month for me. Arrived in dead lined status. Rebuilt and now runs smooth as silk.

This hurt my train budget but bought a 2014 Town and Country due to wife's van being totaled. Driving in Tampa is like driving in a third world country. Even the makers of Cracker Jack had some standards.

Bought some nice stuff recently.

K-Line- 18 inch- 6 car Heavyweight set + a Lackawanna Express car added

K-Line- 18 inch- Lackawanna "Tobyhanna" Pullman Sleeper.

K-Line -18 inch- Pullman Sleeper "Night Route"

The Red Car by Don Stanford was written in 1954. It was bought by me from the Scholastic Book Services sale in my elementary school. I don't have it anymore but the memory of this nice book has always stayed with me.

So as I have been filling in my collection of 1950's cars on my layout it came to me what I was missing.

I found a Matchbox Models of Yesteryear Red MG TC, like the book is about. It makes me smile to think of the book and now to see one on my layout. Azgary

Bought this for my truck. That's s lot of trains I'm not gonna get

LS-1? LS-X architecture for sure. Always loved the tall skinny intake ports.

I bought 3 MTHRR Club cars off eBay for a very good price. They arrived Friday. We went to Long Island on Saturday and I stopped at Trainland and picked up a Railking RS-1 and a  mobil home. The lake is a work in progress. Right now it looks more like a parking lot than a lake.

Here's a few I bought recently. A book I had as a child ( Tim and his Trains ) graphics of Lionel trains but the name is never mentioned. Had a copy when I was a little.

Just picked up this boxed set.

NYC Empire State Express (1975) all in obs and set box very nice set lightly run if at all.

My WBB Texas SP (yeah) rip- roarn just like the West. They pull my 6 aluminum passenger cars with no problems.

Long live the ( Frisco )!

Sure did, a Lionel 158 and 150 from eBay. Both run and need some TLC. These are the type I like to repaint as the 158 was repainted the 150 paint is poor condition. Picked up all the hardware, both need collectors and the 158 needs one non-gear wheel (flange chipped).

See attached:

My first 1/43 scale vehicle in probably 20 years...

I want a real one badly. My favourite truck.

(edit: and probably the only Chrysler product I'd ever own...)

The least cool thing recently was an old primer brown Atlas ore car that had seen better days.  It had previously been 3 railed with a pair of postwar trucks that left it 4 scale feet higher than normal.

Spent a stupid amount of time and money getting it to look like this.  No attempt was made to replicate anything resembling a prototype.  Even worked in set of HO decals to finish off the project.

Bruce

The newest purchase just arrived on the doorstep today And without hesitation I was on my way up to the attic. I have enjoyed my quest to find these weaver flats with Canadian road names. Here is a pic................Paul

Hey guys. I have a pic here for SteamWolf if some one would make sure he gets a peak. He said the other day he always wanted a Dodge Power Wagon; I believe a 1948 model. Well Yesterday I was in Branson, Mo. and right on 76 strip was the truck of his dreams; advertising Shorty Smalls Restaurant. Did I buy some cool stuff and today too. Don't have pics yet but I will post some later.

Just got them today. Atlas Trainman's West Central PS 4750. Have two.

New S gauge FlyerChief Polar Express set AND additional baggage car and abandoned toys car. These are beauties with 6 wheel trucks and near scale dimensions. A fantastic rtr starter set, that's vastly superior to Lionel's O gauge PE rtr starter set.

Locomotive is a newly tooled Berkshire with a dramatized pilot as seen in the film. Though an entry level FlyerChief locomotive it has features found in Lionel's O gauge LionChief Plus engines including;       

• User selected operational modes: Conventional AC transformer mode OR FlyerChief™ wireless remote control with AC or DC power
• AF Speed Control -- retain a steady constant speed whether traveling on inclines, declines, or flat terrain
• On/Off switches for sound, smoke, and conventional/remote operation mode
• Locomotive with forward, neutral, and reverse operation
• Die-cast metal locomotive body and die-cast metal frame
• Die cast metal 6-wheel trucks on die-cast metal tender
• Railsounds® RC sound system with steam chuffing while in motion.
• Realistic background sounds, whistle and bell all triggered by remote
• Operating LED headlight
• Directional LED on tender (rear light)
• Operating coupler on rear of tender
• Fan-driven smoke unit
• Powerful maintenance-free motor
• Two traction tires for added 'grip'

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...

I just saw that an hour ago. (I wanted to see if they improved the catalog format. Nope.)

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?

oh you got took ...badly! I'll swing by and give you your money back, and we'l never mention on here again......

Last evening was the opening of a new art gallery in Butler, Pennsylvania.  Our daughter and our other daughter's mother-in-law both are artists, and bought spaces.  While there my wife and daughter told me I needed to buy these small paintings.  They were hand painted originals.

Here are some from the last couple of months:

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

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

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

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

Thanks for looking.

Paul

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?

A fellow church member gave me a 2018 PW set out of his attic.  It needs some work, but did come with the whistle tender and a nice set of cars, including a boxcar I've always liked. As you can see from this pic, I have some work ahead.

Finally (and I mean finally) won a bid on a N&W Weaver brass caboose...

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.

Bruce

Finally got a O gauge Tonnerville Trolley to go with my Toonerville Station and figures.

Steve

nice score Steve.surprised Marx didn't make that.

I picked up 2 new freight cars at the Greenwich, CT train show on Sunday. I love boxcars and couldn't resist the NYC work caboose.

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!!!!

I'm excited about this pair.  Will be pulling electronics out for Bluetooth or RC. 

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.

Picked up a new (to me) train chasing vehicle...

.

Well all right Phil! The right color, and the motor is where it belongs!

(I'll forgive you the radiator)

2015/2016 NJHR Calendar. on sale soon, this year benefiting Autism Speaks

That's great!  I have my 2015 NJHR calendar above my workbench.  I'll be looking for the new one.

I have my eyes on a 1689E Lionel Vandy but waiting to see what the TCA show on Sunday offers.

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...

It's Friday night.  I picked up something cool.   

 Isn't this is generally supposed to be train related 

I have the far one on the right hanging in my room. Mine is on a piece of slate. I never knew there was series of these!

Jordan,

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

half of a Prewar switcher.....

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. 

i think this is kmt....cool tho

Picked up a couple of nice items at the Pgh.  TCA show today.  Got a Lionel #8 Standard gauge loco with the idea of using the motor in another bigger loco I have but runs nice so will hold off for awhile until the Greenberg Show in Nov. Also bought a Lionel 2046, in nice shape, that runs and smokes nice and that I absolutely didn't need but it "spoke" to me !! Also acquired a Lionel V transformer that needs a cord and might be good for lights and accessories. Attendance seemed a bit light and business a little slow. To cap it off I stopped at the LHS annd picked up some more Standard gauge track and two new magazines. Came home with some goodies and a little $$ in my wallet so it was a good day.

Jim,

Looks like you had a good day.  I didn't make it to the show, but plan to be at the Greenberg show on the first Saturday of November.

I like my Vs. I spotted one a few months ago in our local antique mall, with good cord and nice box for $28. Grabbed it cause it was there. 

A few recent acquisitions are a set of K-Line UP streamliners that were 'added to' by the previous owner (notable forum member) with extra passengers, LED lighting, and a scale rear coupler on the Obsv. This week we received an older Lionel D&H Alco C420 which I used to check both it and the UP cars out this afternoon. Not an often-seen diesel & a beautiful passenger set!

c.sam,

You got a deal on those, I  would've bought them if I didn't get a set recently.

And, with who had them prior, you know they were done right!  A true asset to the forum!

  Research says these Williams State sets are over 35 years old.  That's longer than I've known of Standard Gauge and began a modest collection.  See, before O, it was SG that lured me into the toy train addiction.

  Over eight feet long, I've yet to figure out where it can be properly displayed.

A previous owner installed 2 freshly rebuilt Super Motors with McCoy replacement wheels and postwar E unit into the 408E shell.  While it does run smoothly, I have yet to try pulling all 4 cars.

Cost me enough, but I got the whole car to myself.

 And the requisite parting shot, just for PTC.

Bruce

Sam and Bruce,

Those are both beautiful passenger sets!!

Hi Dave, 

Ironically, I have a New Hope & Ivyland R.R. boxcar also by KMT and what's odd is that the number is the same as your boxcar,#800912. The difference is mine is black with yellow sliding doors. Never thought I would see another NH&IRR boxcar around.

Mine came as a gift from a friend and fellow modeler of The Raritan Valley Hi-Railers train group, because he knew that I was a fireman, about 4 years ago, on that railroad, on #40.

It is a consolidation, Baldwin built, in 1925, and a great loco. The gift was primo since it brings back some great memories of working the engine & many other jobs that were needed to be addressed (maintenance). I have the original box and the car is in great shape. Really like yours though.

                        Steam Forever

                             John

Nice, Matt, What are you going to do with that doorstop? Your going to have to get pretty small to get inside that one...

You should get one Jon, Grzyboskis is blowing them out for $500

Done, and done.

I have been trying, but not having much luck...payment hassle over a 1/43rd auto,

and just got in the wrong items in a box with the right shipping invoicel, which looks

like it was professionally packed.  Now working to return and trade this Atlas two

rail UP industrial switcher and caboose...(missing those you should have received?)...

for what I ordered.

The newest RPO addition to the Free State Junction Railway fleet just arrived.  The SW1 switcher just pushed it on to this siding to load the 5 p.m. mail.

LC Albert Hall from a forum member

 An unmanifested surprise arriving at the Winterton Yards  

 Loaded with Magic Coal and Water GN/CB&Q crews take it for a spin

   Albert Hall sits uncoupled, while the Yard Master figures out what to do with it. Nearest Steam facilities are at the North Pole where the PE sits when not in use.. 

Received a gift from a family friend of a set from 1959. Included a collection of Pyro and Plasticville. also included a nice original Lionel accessory catalog from that year.

Hey, I have those cars. Bought them at the train show in San Diego

Just got this in the Mail today. Always wanted one. Now to work on collecting  the passenger cars.

I had a sales table at a model train show on Saturday, and I sold off a lot of excess stuff and I was happy with that.

I also bought some stuff, including a stack of books at $1 each, a locomotive status book from the Milwaukee Road and a few small items...

I was very happy to finally score one of these, a paperweight given out to employees and shippers in the 1920s. The headlights were broken off each end, but I only paid $15 bucks for it!

Cool pic... I was away down in the mountains in southwest Alberta after posing that, there's a guy down there with a yard that's got five or six in ok shape just wasting away. Shame.

Mr. Brown just dropped these off yesterday for me. Lionel S-2 switchers......Paul

Three more items came. Lionel wood chip hopper, Lionel ore car and a Gadsden ore car.......Paul

Here's something I got in the beginning of September.

Here's a photo of the real Prairie View:

Peter Araujo, It looks great!  I'll have to get some cars like that for this!  Yes the Great Northern probably didn't use F3s to pull the Empire Builder, but mine will.  I got an exceptionally sweet deal on this set at the beginning of the month.

The entire first year of the OGR magazine - a York find:

- Greg

This should help keep us on schedule.

The recent sale of some HO brass allowed me to purchase another version of one of my favorite diesels-this time an SP "Bloody Nose"....  (Lionel)

In addtion to a Hallmark 1936 GMC (I had their 1937 Ford, also newly discovered but already repainted) pickup (I hope Hallmark continues that 

series with some pre-1941 Chevrolets and other pickups...the GMC is a 

surprise, as I have seen few in vintage car shows), I picked up a 1936 Ford

sedan, 1;43ed, by White Box, and saw some Neo, first time I have seen

either at a show.  I also picked up the power chasses for more gas electrics,

also maybe including the McKeen car posted on here....IF that happens.

I believe they ran both 3s and 7s on that train, which is what I do as well. Even if they hadn't I think your engines look great!

Paul 2 nice.  Where did you get that blue bridge?  How long is it?

Thanks

Thank you Len!!

6 LBS of scrapple for the Wednesday preYork gathering at my place. Every one left happy, full and content!

Scrapple is a dish best served cool?

Bruce

Ken,

That information is super to know!!  I planned to look into it, just for fun sometime, but I should guess someone like you from the Pacific Northwest would chime in.  So the E7s overheated in the mountains!  How about that!  Up to 1955, the year before I was born is just the era I like to model.  My uncle and his family in Federal Way, Washington rode on the Empire Builder before Amtrak and once Amtrak took over.  

Thank you very much!!  

While on cab units, here is another great deal I got this week; and I didn't even have to leave Butler and drive cross state to York to get it.  

In addition to the F3 A-B-A set, I purchased a ProtoSound 1 B&O E-8 A-B-A set plus 7 streamline passenger cars all new in box that a fellow had from a large estate sale. He lubed, put in a BCR, and checked out the E8s before putting up for sale. Super price! I may upgrade to PS3, but they run great conventionally.

The only trouble is, now I need a larger layout!! 

Added two more cars to my fleet of McCoy with Canadian names.

Steve

The Neil Young Signature Series, Trail Blazer 2 pack arrived today.  Pretty middle of the road quality for a pair retailing at $400.  I prefer my old K-Line FOM, 15" cars with smooth sides and sans serif lettering.  They forgot privacy glazing in the coach bathroom to the left...that half oval thing is the toilet lid in the up position.

The station sounds diner isn't much to write home about either.  The gold striping on the raised edges of the fluting is odd looking.  Some blemishes in the aluminum could not be hidden by the black paint on the roofs.  The green tint windows is great!...on an aquarium car!

Here's the K-Line RPO from their FOM set.  I suppose the inconsistent look of smooth and fluted could be explained away as prototypical.   Thus ends my one and only experience with pre-order.  Gotta take the bad with the good I suppose.

Bruce

Doug, that's fricken sweet. I had my grubby little hands on an 8 car El Capitan set but we mistakenly got 2 rail. My heart was heave shipping it back but good things come to those who wait

Hi Ken--they're the same magazine:

March 22, 2015 12:03 PM

At York I picked up a Lionel N&W 611 and 6 passenger cars, from 1981, $425.00 for the lot! Only two of the cars had boxes, but the set, after some lubrication, and adjusting the smoke lever for the piston, runs like a top! This set had almost no run time, and even though I am a Pennsy guy, I have always admired this set, and got it Friday afternoon. Also picked up some smoke and items for layout scenery. All in all a wonderful York! 

Recently a friend picked up a 1689E Lionel Vanderbilt for me and I pick it up Thursday. It will be a nice addition to my stable of fine engines.

I just scored a brand new 5 car set of Weaver Santa Fe Aluminum 20" passenger cars on the Bay for $96.57!

Not a big loss, a huge gain. My uncle and i were both buying a set but now we are splitting a set so its all good. Ive only got to trow in half.

I scored some original stock certificates from the RR I model. It never occurred to me I'd ever find anything like this. The ET&WNC one is from 1887 and is currently in a frame on the wall of my layout room:

A little steeplecab........

New to OGR, please be nice to me! Also, first post here.

Just bought my first Ives! (Hope the image works)

Also still working on a Railroad Room in my yard. If this interests anyone, I'll start some kind of construction thread to show progress. (With pics of course)

This is the subfloor, completed. I have gotten farther than this, but my camera's batteries went dead!

welcome to a great place Ron. Love Ives. Now go get some new batteries and snap away!

Well for those who plan to order a case of Boxcars from Menard's, the box weights 11.5 lbs and overall they were great. They are going to one of the clubs I belong to after we got approval to start adding better looking cars. Then the rocket and helicopter flat. Nice job Menard's!

Here's a video of the Premier PS1 B&O E8 A-B-A pulling 7 streamline cars all new in box I posted photos of a couple of days ago.

I recently got this nice traditional /conventional Lionel GG1. I know it is not fresh of the truck but was waiting for the right time. I do like the gold stripe It stands out in a field of black. 

I have gotten much more interested in the Penn Central RR in the last few years. I blame this mostly on picking up the Penn Central Power books from Morning Sun. 

These aren't my pictures but it shows the prototype and how the wash rack only hit the sides not the nose curves.Now if I can track down some passenger cars.

This 260E loco & tender arrived this morning from Pats Trains.

Steve

Wow! That's gorgeous. Congrats!

Not bought but just completed building.  "Junior",  a much smaller version of the dynamic-test-stand built in 06.

This is Senior!  A MTH PRR S1 on test.  Big enough for my Big Boy and any AA units including my Centipedes.

JR. with infamous Atlas Southern GP-35 with sound issues.

JR. with somewhat new to me MTH B&O (PS-1) GP-9.  First time under power since purchase.  To be out graded to PS-2 once I find the donor PS-2 GP-7 bought some time ago.

Ron
