Here's a long post
First is a variety lot that I got back in July and have wanted to post because he unique cars that came with it. There were 6 cars in the lot(Hafner Black roof/frame Overland flyer not shown)...After that are some other July pickk-ups and early August buys. Got some German tin today but probably won't pst til tomorrow
Variety Lot
Ives 50 series Passener cars- "The Ives Railway Lines" No. 51 Newark(1913-1914). This guy was in the best shape of the bunch. Green frame and green roof
Two of my favorites(although I love them all ha) Hafner(?) CNW Overland Flyer and Lionel Disney Circus Dining car. The Hafner frame has wear but the body is in really good shape, the dining car's colors have faded a bit and I've cleaned it the best I could
American Flyer- I believe a Hummer Line "505 Pennsylvania Lines" and a GN RPO that lcks a number, thus I believe it was from a set. Also don't think the roof is original to the car
The Newly Acquired Ives Newark on the left with its predecessor(already had this one) Ives Pennsylvania Lines No. 51 Newark(1911-1912) on the right. Tough enough to see in person , but the frame on the older one appears to be gray while the newer one is green.
From later in July:
American Flyer 4-wheel LV gondola. As I was born in the LV, I really like this car. Also in good condition
Modern Marx "National Military RR Defense Units". I know it's part of a larger set- what appealed to me is the famous Marx windup tank on the other side. That and it's a slick lookin' car!
Marx Bogota- green Pullman
while with Marx( From earlier in August)
Pair of Marx 245 prewar Bogota Pullmans- On the left is a plain black frame with TS couplers, on the right SLF with Joyline couplers
The Bogota joins the Montclair- just need the observation!!
