What are you looking for now?

A Marx Hi-truck Shell tin tanker. Complete the set!

I am looking for a good, clear diagram  or  picture of all the wiring to and into a Marx #999, etc. reverse unit.  I need to wire one to two motors and don't want to tear another down just to look at it.  I got the book but that diagram is not clear. There are structure kits l am looking for, including that grain elev, kit made in PA., as one I found is incomplete.  There are several other kits, but l will copy or approximate if l don't scare up the kit.  I am looking for coal Vanderbilt tenders in three sizes ( probably have to scratch those) and the list goes on..

Always looking for targets of opportunity.  Frixample, I snapped up the makings of a steeplecab at last weekend's show.  ;-) 

I'm on the lookout for projects and parts (for example, a couple of junk Lionel General chassis to make a freelance box cab electric locomotive)...  

And I can use both air and electronic tender whistles!

3 or 4 Powered Trucks for AHM O scale C-Liners.

 My initial response to this question would be a few more of the petroleum or railroad-roadnamed chrome plated RailKing tankers that I have yet to acquire, after I decided to make a solid train of chrome and plated aluminum freight cars (I have about 20 now)

Then I remembered one of my long-term "looking for" quests, the second dome car from the K-Line aluminum Golden State set, the k4632-29841c "Golden Outlook":

As I read through the thread I saw this...

So, after your last great O scale find what are you looking for now?

I'm looking for this funny guy named Paul to run some trains at the club

...and thought "well, it would also be nice to be find someone to carpool with from the (north central) Bronx to the NJ Hirailers on select weekends so I could finally become a member there". Otherwise that'd require me to resurrect a 1987 Maxima currently occupying our garage (needs battery, tires, most likely an oil change and its transmission fluid checked out) , and get accustomed to driving it since I haven't had any opportunities to  drive since passing my road test (on the first try) a few years ago.

I have a needle in a haystack list of things I am on the hunt for. For the most part I have been able to widdle the list down to three left. As for now I am always looking to the next catalog to see what to get next............Paul 2

Good luck on finding this dome.  After searching for a while I wound up buying it with some other cars I already had.  Upside: I have a nice long GS set.

A couple of days ago I said I didn't need anything (just kidding), but I forgot I need MTH 20-94317, Narragansett Ale reefer #104 to complete my six car set. 

MTH New Jersey Transit 16" amfleet passenger cars or something similar that runs on 0-42 curves(No Atlas for me ). Anything New Jersey Transit. And, as always, O-scale soldiers which I don't already have.

I'm looking for some time to work on/play with my trains. I retire in June so I will have more time then.

i really want an lionchief plus 2.0 set

question does anyone know when the docksider sets come out?

The correct smoke arrestors for this GP7:

The bottom image is from Mike Condren's photo collection that has been digitized to reside in the Springfield/Greene County Library.

I hope to sell an MTH AT&SF 4-8-4 #2912 that has been upgraded to PS2 by GGG.   But I still want a model of this locomotive.   I have a Sunset 3rd Rail AT&SF 2-10-4 #5032 that I would trade for someone's 3rd Rail 2900 class locomotive.   Let me know.

A 70% lengtn of a junk 1800s coach body; I hate cutting on good ones.

Magnetraction bearings for 2037 & rear gear; some for 2046 too, frnt gear. Both have reached the point of jumping a tooth at the drivers.

3+ of 0-4-0 beater motors for bashing to, maybe a 6 wheel motor, two motor-in-truck diesel drives.

I'm also short a K-line Broadway Limited car or two, but 12". I have the 4812, Cascade Hgts, 7812 baggage and Federal View cars. There is a dinner I'd like, and maybe one more, but I'd be chasing the Federal on my ten footer with a full BL consist, even 12". (If it all fit, lol)

I might pick up a third chrome RI&P General if the price is right. I'm toying with a General chassis bash idea too. It's the short driver wheelbase I'm after. Any alternative ideas? Smaller drivers would be better too; so anything lend itself extremely well to loosing some of the frame and drivers leaving a short length, tight WB, 4 driver chassis?

Maybe....... watch for those curveballs🌞

Well, I found this thread on page 24 or 25 of this OGR 027- 3 rail O Guage Forum, wow, but I like the Question Paul Romano asked, great thread. I’m looking for someone who can repair 2 of the Lionel TPC 400’s. Lou Kovash Sold this idea to Lionel, I would like to get mine repaired. It can be programmed, but that’s as far as it can goes, it’s probably the microprocessor. Wow, I need help. Thank You in advance. 

S-gauge BL2 any road name

Gunny

MTH Z 4000 is on my list

I need 3-rail scale cabooses in L&N and ACL livery. I’m sure that MTH and Atlas have acceptable examples. I just can’t find any for sale. 

Finishing my Golden State collection. I really wasn't into the aluminium sided cars, but after seeing them here, I think that I have to have them.

And I need the Macy's Boxcar, plus the LGB Snoopy Surfer, the MTH Sears Craftsman Boxcar and the Atlas Robin Hood Beer Boxcar. And others.

I know some of what I'm looking is on eBay fairly often but I need to refine my wants and decide exactly how much I'm willing to spend.

Boxcars and reefers to expand my Friendship Train.  Many of the cars in the train had simple signs on the sides, so I'm developing a list of cars that will work with computer made signs added to the side.  Here is an example of PRR X-29s with a sign on the side.  There were 9 of these cars and they all looked the same.  I have the correct motive power and 15 cars so far (some are Lionel that are on order).

So far my list includes:

- AtlasO UP Steel Re-Built USRA Boxcar 6485-X

- MTH 40' Lackawanna USRA Single Sheathed Boxcar 20-93365

- MTH X41b 50' PS-1 MS boxcar 20-93582

- Atlas O SP (black logo) 40' Single Sheathed (wood braced) Box Car

Prototype cars for which I have not found a correct model yet:

- PFE 66370 - Orange reefer with brown top/ends

- ATSF steel boxcar/El Capitain Coach Streamliner

- C&O wood Double sheath boxcar

I am looking for European Flat Cars.

Looking for a K-Line Crabby Matt’s diner. Tough to find.

Really? I didn't know it was rare. I've had one on my layout for about a decade. 

Several things:

-Lionel NYC E7 A-B-A (TMCC )

-Lionel NYC L2-a Mohawk 

-K line 18" American Freedom Train set

-K-line 18" Pennsylvania Heavyweights

-MTH RK Imperial CNJ Camelback with PS3

-MTH Premier CNJ Pacific (both "The Bullet" and "Queen of the Valley")

-Williams Scale GG1 (PC and PRR schemes)

I still don't have one thing I wanted from back when I was in elementary school, a Lionel 6-38197 Southern Pacific F3 ABA set. I've got all my other childhood locomotive wants except that one. They are easy to find, just waiting on a killer deal.

I have a short list of engines I've been looking for for a while.

Standard gauge 600e engine and tender

Mth br-44

Bavarian S 3/6 

And 3rd rail flying Scotsman. 

Some passenger cars for my 763e would be nice. 

Unfortunately,  I don't know it until I see it. (And make room for it)

Still looking for junk to convert into interesting projects!  Got a pile of old cars, locos,  shells, chassis, trucks or whatnot you don't want?  I just may be able to make it  into something neato!  ;-)

I originally replied to this with "More time to work on the layout". Thanks to COVID-19 I now have that although I am blessed to have a company who is still paying me to work from home. Now I am looking at more room for growth. I would love a large switching area to build and break apart consists but I would have to sacrifice a storage closet and move my city park to get that done. Still planning.

Still looking for a GGD 60' Southern Pacific Harriman passenger car to use as a rider coach on my S.P. Coast Mail train. I had one reserved when they came out a few years ago but somehow I never received it. 

I had to think about this...

It pales in comparison to bigger and better things but still looking for the elusive Lionel 6014 Chun King box car.  

I like putting together PW sets, one car at a time, and I have almost completed the uncataloged X-150 Set led by the good old 520 Box Cab Electric. The Chun King box car is the one car I need to complete the set. Very hard to find (without breaking the bank).

I'm in the hunt for an MTH Premier Lehigh Valley 44 Tonner. Oh, they are out there – but a bit too much for the budget right now. I'm hoping, at some point, for find really good deal. I run traditional, so I don't need all the bells and whistles that come with command control.

MTH Primere  Nickel Plate Road passenger ALCO locomotives 

I'm easy to please.

An MTH Premier 20-67143 Southern Pacific 70' full-length vista dome passenger car.

Rob Leese - Model number please for your MTH SF 4-8-4 #2912?
