Lets See Your Latest Engine Purchase

Here is my WBB 4-6-0. I love this engine. I would recommend it to anyone.

Here's mine.....from the the 2010 Volume 2 catalogue. Only had to wait 9 months for delivery on a pre-order.

Also bought the "Powered B" unit to go with the set.

I thought I didn't need another Trainmaster but when I saw one on E-bay and offered $150 for this K-line Milwaukee FM with all the bells and whistles I couldn't pass it up. I now have three Milwaukee Trainmasters. My next move is to renumber two of them. Don 

TWO REALLY BEAUTIFUL LIONEL ENGINES

THE J1A  AND  THE MIKADO

THANKS, ALEX

Lionel Legacy Erie 0-8-0

Haven't taken any recent photos of the layout lately...will do so next week and post an update thread. 

Newest engine, a Railking Imperial (Imperials have got to be the best bang for your buck in the hobby) Y6B. Very happy so far. It was purchased as an MTH Specialty Set which includes the engine, 4 coal hoppers and caboose. 

I got it late last year....but it is my last purchase. A Williams brass GS-4 scale (some say semi scale) 4-8-4. I've wanted a GS-4 since I got into O back 1992. And it took this long for me to find one I wanted at a price I could pay. Pretty nice for the $$$I

I had my MTH RK N&W J out to compare just for the fun of it.

Two picture of my "latest acquisition" which arrived today.

Another WBB Baldwin 10-wheeler.  My fifth.  I will leave it in the box for now (picture one).  I have project plans for it, bashing, etc.  

Most interesting thing is this.  I ordered it from MB Klein (modeltrainstuff.com)- and as usual it arrived promptly within three days.  Note, however, (picture two) the address and company Bachmann sent it too.  Interesting.  Did not/still do not know if there is actually ac onnection between these two companies, but maybe others know.

Dave, good for you. I bought the Williams brass SP GS-4 even though I am a Milwaukee fan because in 1952 it was my first train ride. LA to San Francisco. I will never forget it. I was a train nut as long as I can remember. I can still remember the smell in the dinner. 18 cars, I counted them. I was eight years old. Don

My nused MTH Premier Dreyfus Hudson.  I really love the "Driver Illumination"

My new Rail King CP E8 with PS3. A neat feature that I did not know it had is Rule 17 lighting, the headlight stays dim until the engine moves. (heard about it on the MTH website while watching the preview of the new Rail King S2Turbine). I had noticed it dim, I just did not know why.

MTH Chessie System SD50

Ohhhhh.... the Baja 1000 Alco !!

Been putting this train together since RMT ran the ore cars.

EMD SD60

and a powered/dummy set of these:

Here's a representative picture of what mine looks like.  I already put it back in the box after inspecting it. Won't come out until I rebuild layout.

My Penn Central scale gg1 from the WBB blowout.

Here's mine:

Wanna see it again?

Actually I do have a 3rd Rail E7 coming sometime this year, sounds like July or later now.

Lately I can't seem to get the images of a N&W J or K2a out of my head.  Dangerous thoughts for a man with little to spend on trains these days

Here is my latest one which is also my favorite one. 

The smoke production was so good the wife made me add an on off switch 

Always liked the color scheme of this loco from 1999, finally picked one up, this one is the TMCC version.

3rd Rail Great Northern M-2 20.  The ideal small articulated.

Got it just in time for Christmas:

Kids really dig the idiotic crew chatter, I like the smooth, powerful performance.

I buy about 1 or 2 engines a month ( when I can find what I want ) and I bought this one last night : MTH 4-8-8-2 

Sorry I don't have any recent pictures, I will not receive it untill one week or two

LC 254E from a set I purchased a couple months ago:

MTH 255E.

My latest is an older ca. 1998 3rd Rail steam locomotive.  It doesn't have TMCC or railsounds, so is seldom on my layout.  Nevertheless, to my eyes it sure looks nice.  Jim

Surprised to not see more GG1's on here considering that sale that's been going on

Not a Williams, but my most recent engine purchase was my Lionel JLC scale GG1 that I bought back in January (I think, somewhere around there).  TMCC, Railsounds, die-cast shell, metal frame and die-cast trucks, motorized operating pantographs, steam generator "blowoff" (simulates the safety valve going off)

You need to click on the picture an pop it out to really see how nice this is.

When my latest addition was cataloged (MTH 2011 v.1) I really liked it, but couldn't justify it because it isn't in the roadnames I run and have limited myself to, and I HAD to have these:

So the latest MTH Catalog came out, and I was researching the NKP GP-9 in John Rehor's classic "Nickel Plate Story" and I came across information that while waiting for their order of GP-9s to arrive, the Nickel Plate leased a number of Chesapeake & Ohio GP-7s. Having admired this in the catalog and again when I saw it in person, I decided to track one down and run it as leased NKP power on my pike.

Very well pleased with this Rail King Scale locomotive, and a number of details that weren't listed in the catalog.

I feel very fortunate in that I have received both a 3rd Rail B&O T-3 and a like new Weaver Brass Reading G1 within the past four months. 

 The Weaver G1, however, is the most recent:

Jim

Gorgeous... My dream would be that Lionel buys 3rd Rail (or vice versa...! ) so you could marry this kind of gorgeous detail with Legacy. 

How does it run?

Fo wheelin.The Lionel ATV

My most recent purchase: from here, from Doug. Posing outside. Hmm, need to push that rear cover down better.......

B&Bill

Who me? Buy a new train? What train I have had this one a long, long time maybe 2 to 3 days.
