Train Show Finds at the Big E Train Show

I got some good wooden scale modern wood cars like "Big John" Hopper. Tldx 82' boxcar and experimental southern all door boxcar.

I also found many familiar faces at this show like bluelinec4, a few tmb members, Bob Lavezzi, and Bill from Atlas O!

But my BIG find is the mth premier ps2 Prr trainmaster with the bcr! YES!

Nothing yet... But there is always tomorrow.

Picked up some finishing touches from Scenic Express and spare Lionel parts.  Learned from Dennis at Z-stuff that the DZ-1070 can drive 2 or 3 DZ-1008A.  Handy to know if you need to isolate outputs.  A couple of years back I scored an original Lionel Grand Central Terminal.

Dennis was a great help.  While I didn't purchase anything from him this time around..  I did drop a few defective items off he's going to repair/replace for me.

Can anybody post what's in the new Atlas catalog? It was supposed to be shown at the big E.

Thanks

nice finds Kayden.

At the Atlas O booth, there were production samples of the 53' containers and well cars. A preproduction sample of the Trainman observation car. I did not hear of anything new in Atlas O

 For ho, Atlas is doing modular GE body u boats from u28b-u36b. I commented we need that in O scale... Along with the gp40-2 and fp7's.

Here's one of my "finds" at the Big E show yesterday...Woodland Scenic's Dugan's Paint Store.  $82 from forum sponsor Charles Ro...a pretty darn good deal!!

I have a request for anyone going today. There's a Weaver dealer in the Malery building, the same section Atlas is in(he next to the layout). Name is Bonnie's Baubles. He only does shows and doesn't have a brick and mortar store.

I need his email which is displayed on his sign. Huge Weaver selection at fair prices.

Gary, his name is Ray (not sure of his last name), and his email address is "rcyr5@cox.net".

I have purchased quite a few Weaver items from him over the past few years.

Perfect Joe thanks

Picked up this beauty.

Found this one from a fellow Forum member from my home town who happened to be at the show selling some of his inventory.

A timely car, this one.

My acquisitions consisted of "Where Rails Meet the Sea" by Michael Krieger and two DVDs covering the final years of CP Rail's MLW units by Broken Knuckle Video Productions. I really appreciate the variety offered by the Amherst show.

In my case just a conductor's handle from an R-2 for $5.00 which I hope to use on my throttle.

Good seeing all,

Rick K,

   Great Punxy Phil Car, never knew they made one!

Today's buys consisted of an Excelle Lubricants O--gauge kit, a book called "To the Mountains By Rail..." a book on O&W passenger traffic to the Catskill Mountains, and an O&W mug. No cars or locomotives, but tons of great ideas as well after viewing all the great layouts there.
