Really cool F units, Terry. Now start looking for the powered B and dummy B units.

Nick, where did you get them? As since I was born and raised in Lancaster County, there has to be a spot I can get them on my layout!
Here you go, Dennis
Nice pieces. Price?
I think I already posted this before, but I think it is cool. It is a Lionel scale Bethlehem Steel Work Caboose.
It's a different pic, though.

Matchbox 1/32 Spitfire mark 22!
Williams by Bachmann NYC F-3 ABA set and Lionel Legacy Milwaukee GP-35. The GP-35 is my third Legacy engine; I also have the Milwaukee S-3 4-8-4 No.267 and the Milwaukee F-7 AA set with add-on B unit. In the past I haven't been real big on the high-end electronics, but I like Legacy so much I bought a system for my home layout when I get it back in operation.

I love the Spitfire! My Metis (half-breed Canadian native) father flew 3 types of Spitfires in WW2; flew 239 missions! His middle handle was - no kidding - "Lucky" for an obvious reason. Unfortunately, like so many vets, he came back to an ordinary small city that had remained pretty much the same, while he had been changed by the war. Alcohol was his savior in the war, and his undoing in later life, but the fact that I'm even here to be able to love my trains is due to his efforts.
As for new stuff, thanks to GG1guy (a site contributor), I was able to get his brand-new LCCA Collector's Club Texas Special beautiful NW-2 Cow and Calf. They are beauties, and even tho' I run conventional, lotsa great sounds and a deep-blast horn freaks my dog and brings a glow to my heart. Pix attached...

I only have on Legacy engine, but I'm pretty happy with it! I don't have the Legacy system, so I can't use this feature, but I like the quilling whistle/horn.
I plan on getting Legacy within the next year, though!
I noticed this set of Weaver Wabash 20" cars on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and put in an opening bid of $150 about 3 hours before the auction ended. When I got home I checked my E-mail to find out I won. I received them in three days to find out they are brand new and never ran. Now I am looking to find another set and or more single cars to make a longer consist and either a set of used MTH Premier Alco PA's or a new Lionel Legacy AA set of E8's.
Keith, you need to talk to Santa Clause about that Legacy System. 
I'm already saving up!!!

If I could only win my ebay auctions...
MTH/Ives, with Proto 2 of course.

A friend bought a '69 Camaro shortly after we graduated from high school. It was a really cool car!!
Yesterday, I purchased the Polar Express Dining Car at the Greenberg show in Monroeville. Maybe it isn't so cool because all they serve on that car is HOT chocolate. 
keys6700 sorry but you didn't get a 69 camaro.... it looks like a 68 as that was the first years without vent windows on the camaro. easiest way to tell on 1st generation camaros 67 had vent windows no side markers, 68 no vent windows and side markers. 69 had different shaped fender wells different taillights and parking lights below the bumper. i own 1 67 1 68 7 69's.
Mark, which version of the Polar Express diner car did you get? Scale or traditional?

Well, that's what it said on the bottom. I personally don't care what year it is. I think all Camaros look pretty cool.
Thanks for the info!!!

I have the traditional. Did you see the Polar Express the Pittsburgh Independent HiRailers were running? The scale one, way cooler than mine, but I'm happy.

And yes, I did see the scale polar express they had. It was pretty neat. They had a Santa Claus figure on the end of the observation car.

Yes I did see Santa on the observation deck. That was a neat addition. I have the observation, regular coach, the marionette car from the set, and the hobo car and now the diner. I also picked up the Polar Express girder bridge, plus the set of the conductor, engineer, fireman, and the boy. My daughter is going to get me some red doll hair so I can make a beard for the fireman. I don't know why he is clean shaven.
I liked Dr. Jack's rocket assembly plant & rocket cars. That was really cool! He had the MTH Rocket Transport set & two K-Line NASA flatcars with part of a rocket on each. The K-Line cars didnt have the covers on them like the MTH set did.
Got these two old Marx steamers yesterday....
Well, this NYC T-3 by Third Rail has joined my collection, courtesy of the Public Delivery Track at Allentown
Didn't even plan on getting any motive power---Just a case of coming loaded for bear, and only having bought a few small things the entire show. People were covering their tables up when I pulled the trigger on this one.
I think I'll hitch it to my K-Line Metro-North Bombadier cars and call it a "miraculous preservation"

I purchased an MTH Premier 5-car Twin Stack Container Set (MTH 20-90842 Norfolk Southern w/ Dole Fruit Containters) from my LHS.
The cars are extremely well detailed and look amazing coming down the mainline.
Link to a quick video I posted on my youtube channel below:

For any intermodal fans out there, I would highly recommend purchasing one of these sets. You will not be disappointed.
Best,
Michael

I finally broke down and ordered the MTH Premier S-1. I only bought at a 10% discount but . . . I thought about it -- it is much too big to look good on 72 inch curves (which I have, or bigger, so I can run it but mostly won't). I want it mostly to go along with all the other big boys (and Big Boy) on the shelf, where I can look at and compre them all . . . It will be here Friday.

I just ordered the Lionel Polar Railroad GP-7 and the PRR covered hopper. The GP will be perfect in front of my hot chocolate car, reindeer stock car, and present hopper.
I'm pretty excited - this is my first Legacy product. I've been focusing on DCS up until now, but the this GP-7 is just needs to be on my Christmas display. I'll probably just run it in conventional mode for now.

Goes with the territory on these.

How does it work?
