Well, we finally made it back after 2 weeks in NJ.  It was 90%  work and 10% pizza and Wawa.  We loaded 14,000 lbs of stuff on to a tractor trailer by hand.  Not a whole lot of trains, just a whole lot of stuff, and a LOT of Lionel parts from pre-1985 or so.  Not that im going to get into selling Lionel parts again...its was all just sitting in NJ, and we had to get it out of there.  The trailer will probably get here this week, and it will take another 2-3 days to unload it.

Im alive, and we are starting sipping again now..  Thanks, everyone, for your patience.

The latest news in arrivals...

Atlas... Premier Wreck Cranes and boom tenders are on their way here.  We will be sending out invoices shortly.   89' multi-max auto carriers will be here in about 6 weeks.          By now I guess everyone as seen the spring Atlas O catalog.  The 70MAC's, E-8's, 50'6" ACF box cars, 17,600 gallon tank cars, Berwick 60' hi Cube box cars, and the sanding towers are available for pre-order on te website.

Selling off in one lot is a possibility, if someone is seriously interested.   Its a lot of stuff, mostly postwar. 

Back a hundred years ago, (everything was at Mt Clemens then) I would write orders for maybe 200 different parts at a time, and just see what showed up. I think the average was about 10% of the order.

The most unexpected things that I can remember were original 752 streamliner wheels, Original 726 baldwin disc drive wheels, and 726 boilerfronts...and orig 726/2046 trail trucks and the cast 2-6-2 trail trucks. and they had some 224E parts still there too, for some reason.

I also went down to Madison occasionally, to see what Carl and Lou would sell me.    I was just a kid, and they werent cheap, but i got some good stuff from them...
