I feel so giddy!!! | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hey Gang,

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning again!!! I've been saving to buy an AtlasO SD/GP/anything in the Chessie System paint with B&O markings to go along with the 20 plus ore cars and I-12 caboose I've collected. Over a week ago, an AtlasO SD-35 came up on eBay, so I thought I would try to win it and save a few $$$. Well, I received it today, and man, what a euphoric feeling I have (And I saved about $260.) It looks awesome!

I had never intended to make a unit train. For some indescribable reason, I started buying the Lionel and K-Line ore cars in the Chessie System/B&O markings around 2001 off eBay when they were going for $5 ~ $10. Then the Lionel I-12 in Chessie System came out. So the hunt was on for an AtlasO engine to complete the consist.

Here are a couple of pictures. They were taken on my cell phone, so the quality doesn't do the engine and caboose justice.

I love that caboose and got it when it came out. I think someone on this forum described it as a work of art.

Very nice loco and caboose. Uhhhh, that's sort of a short ore train in the top picture.

Nothing like the feeling of actually obtaining an item you've been searching for! Enjoy!
