I grew up on the western tip of Long Island (aka, Brooklyn!!!). Other than Lionel and the NYC Subway, the only real trains I knew was the LIRR Cut which ran near the intersection of Flatbush and Nostrand Avenues (locally called the junction). As an ex-Pat living in PA for the last 28 years, I have a certain nostalgia for where I grew up, so I’ve been picking up various Long Island and Brooklyn items…

Trainworld, Nassau Hobbies, and NLOE have become serious bad influences!!! And that doesn’t cover the NJ HiRailers and their NY/Brooklyn offerings

I grew up on Long Island but left for college. I returned for a few years after graduating but have lived in New England for more than 50 years and became a fan of the New Haven Railroad. Nonetheless, I collect and run Long Island Rail Road model trains. My favorite is LIRR G-5s #21 by MTH Premier which is always on my layout. It reminds me of LIRR #35 that I used to see when flying model airplanes in Salisbury (now Eisenhower) Park in the 1950s.

Hiram, like Bob I see some familiar LIRR items but most I don't recall.LIRR A

Who made this FM?

LIRR D

I always wanted one of those Tomcat TOFCs but have never found one on the secondary market for a reasonable price.

Bob I always like when you post this Duck Growers Assn. stock car.  I don't recall seeing another.

Paul, I'm a fan of the RK 4 bay cylindrical map hoppers.  I've 2-3.  I don't recall this one.  Is it a RK or is it a Premier?

I also like the MAP hoppers, Joe - have a few of them. I’m pretty sure this is a RK (30-75707). They also made another one with the ‘64-‘65 World’s Fair logo instead of Dashing Dan (30-75533).
P.S. Grzyboski’s shows both in stock

@coach joe- The Duck Growers car was from the Railroad Museum of LI in Riverhead.
I was lucky enough to pick up a Grumman Tomcat TOFC a few years ago.

And my K-line Greenport Scoot set was in mint condition when I got it. The previous owner added passengers. I've since added 2 more cars.

Finally, when I needed a track cleaning car, I took an All-nations car up a couple notches.....
