What did you buy lately , HONGZ

That Marklin looks great Dennis.

Nice find, just a little patina but it will look more realistic ...

Dennis, any update for my future scalecraft loco ???

Daniel.

Yes I will get that sent now that I finally got the wheels fixed, quartered and installed. Here is that video I tried to send you earlier. I think it’s pretty smooth so hopefully it will be as good as your Scale-craft Hudson.

Better hope Daniel doesn't want that power source too Dennis....

That looks good for me Dennis, thanks for the news and I will NOT ask for the power source, except if you want to make a trip to France, why not coming with Dave, it would be great.

I love those old Revell (AHM) kits. At one time they were the ultimate in plastic HO structures. Granted I'm going back to when I was a kid all those eons ago where I pored over those Revell catalogs.

I was a kid into ho in the early 70’s so I know what you mean. I had the Arlee station, coal elevator, the sandhouse, the Atlas switchtower... lol I think all the common popular stuff but I used to lust after all the other AHM minikits at the local hobby shops. I love em!

My darling wifeypoo bought me a 6' by 8' table last year, that holds four HO sets (I have six). 

A few weeks ago, I bought my first N scale train, and it runs great. They are harder to get and more expensive than HO, but I plan to buy more over time.

Pictures Vincent, pictures 😎

Okay. But please bear in mind that My Underwater Kingdom (MUK) is still under construction.

The n gauges are getting cheaper all of the time. I am seeing more and more of them in local train shows. My son is into the n scale My grandson and I are into O and ho, Since I have been into them since the early fifties. Then the hos were expensive and rarer then. I saw one of the roundhouse sections Sunday at a local show.

For some reason, the text didn't "take."

I spent $5 US at an open-air market here in Mexico and got these nine items. Some will go into my Underwater Kingdom: a new villain for Baron Barracuda's forces, and two recruits for the Mexican Navy. I also got items for my future Disney display and 2019 Christmas lay-out. Although I don't like Thomas the Tank Engine, the kids do--Thomas items are expensive in Mexico, so  I grab them when they're cheap for a future Sodor Island display.

At the recent show in Urbana, IL, I scored a couple HO scale brass items for super low prices.  First find, as I was carrying in my live steam G scale to our layout was an Overland Models IC SD70 "death star", factory painted, lighted, serial number 32 of 55.  This was before the show opened to the public.  Guy was downsizing his collection, the model was burried at the bottom of a pile of other brand engine boxes, I spied the green box as I was carrying in my stuff, got that model for $200.   After the lunch hour, I was walking around with the little bit of spending $$ I had left and found a PFM/GOM brass DRGW caboose in its box for $18.  I have redecaled it for the IC as proper IC cabooses are expensive and hard to find in the brass world.  Mike the Aspie

I just bought 2 MTH big boys (20-3807-1 and 20-3808-1). I am mostly a lionel collector, so these are my very first MTH steam engines. They won't be delivered until the end of August 2021 so it will be a while. Since MTH is closing, my understanding is they will be shipped to Mike Wolf's house (get it... Mikes Train HOUSE, haha). And he will ship out from there.

Thanks, TrainFinder Craig

I brought home this absolutely beautiful ScaleTrains.com Rivet Counter BNSF ES44C4 on wednesday. It’s a beautiful model that sounds wonderful. I’m in love with these ScaleTrains GEVOs, this being my second one (first was a CSX 3194 Spirit of Law Enforcement).

N scale has come a long  way. It runs like a smooth Swiss watch. Kato, Broadway limited just go name a couple all top shelf  stuff and can't forget  micro trains.

I’ve been picking up some of ScaleTrains HO scale locos, they are excellent.

Also picked up a few Athearn Genesis locos lately, also very nice.

I’ve also ordered a number of Proto87 Store’s turnout kits, very nice.

Back in the early 1970s I dreamed of owning a postage stamp train made by Aurora but I already had Lionel O and money was tight. Since then I have been wanting to pick a set up but most of what I saw were beat up and priced to high. Today I walked into estate sale that had advertised Lionel and came across this Aurora postage stamp set wrapped in yarn. It’s in real good shape and runs, the rolling stock looks unrun. So fifty years later I may make up a postage stamp set layout.
