The Lionel 50' flat cars with trailers have arrived. Prob old news to everyone, but they finally showed up here. Yes, we are starting to sell some of the full scale Lionel stuff, including all the former Weaver stuff that they are doing. Also just arrived are the former Weaver UPFE 57' Mechanical reefers, and the NP and Reading 40' PS-1 box cars. All these cars have diecast sprung trucks and couplers. We also have about 10 other former Weaver cars (now being made by Lionel) in stock. We sell them all singly, and try to keep the price reasonable. Not everyone needs 6 reading box cars. They are all listed under Lionel and Weaver. This give me an incentive to start listing about 100 older Lionel full scale sized cars that we have here. I just started buying them along the way, so I guess I should start selling them.
We also just bought all the remaining stock of Golden Gate depot Harriman cars. Most of what we have is up on the web now.
Golden Gate depot Heavyweight Observation cars, Dining Cars, Baggage/mail cars. and baggage cars....The roads that will be made have been finalized and are all up on the website. Im still trying to see if we can get enough orders for MoPac in the solid blue colors, and Rio Grande in pullman green. If u are interested in either of these cars, pls let me know. There will only be about 700 cars made total...the whole run with 4 different car types and 15 or so different roads and 2 rail and 3 rail...so there wont be that many of each car.
Special runs from Atlas..Morristown and Erie 3 bay hopper cars are in the pipeline, and after that, LNE 2 bay USRA hopper cars. Would also like to do the Erie 2 bay hopper cars, and N&W if we could get atlas to do the peaked end. Prices on Atlas stuff has gone up a bit, so it makes it hard t do more than 1 car at a time. (We have to pay for everything up front.)
I'm always too busy, but thanks to everyone who orders from us.

ps...if u happen to watch hulu's "Future Man", Im in season 2, episode 2. Just lucky to get a part in it. It was as 4 day shoot with long days, but a great experience. Its hard to get anything that resembles a real part. U gotta hustle all the time.
