I've done the same thing. Lehigh Valley stuff is harder to find. The LV had a line that ran right behind my house when it had to skirt around Buffalo to get to Tift St. yard. I have two LV cabeese. One is an MTH Premier and one a Weaver. Both are NE style. The MTH is superior IMO. It couples and tracks better and has more add on detail.
An Atlas Trainman 60' NYC observation car, when they release it.
As for locomotives...I'm not sure. I bought a Lionel NYC S1 electric a couple of months ago, and there's nothing else I've really got my eye on at the moment.
I just purchased the fasttrack necessary for the layout featured in January 2015 OGR. I purchased the benchwork for the 4 by8 layout at York that my grandchildren will build while they are visiting my wife at her summer place in CT. Setting the track in place in the basement for the kids to start building this weekend.
In trains, whatever comes in next from the preorders I placed a lifetime ago. Can't even recall what I still have on order at this point, but those ridiculous shipping dates have really screwed-up my budget.
In one of my other leisure activity pursuits: Browning BPS .12 gauge. No preorder delays with that stuff.
Allen, you just don't order the high-end skeet guns that you have custom built for around $25,000.
MTH NYC Streamlined passenger cars or Williams NYC passenger cars.
The LIONEL™ Lackawanna Camelback.
I have two union pacific cabooses from Lionel I am waiting on plus the aux union pacific tender. I also placed a preorder from MTH for both the B&O hopper 6 packs and the NKP passenger cars.
For engines I bought a CSX sd40 from a forum member. That should be here today.
hmmm.... I do really need to get the parts order in for the lionel 2026 and conveyor lumber loader I'm working on.
in terms of actual trains, I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger on a Williams N&W J.

that reminds me...I have a 2026 in need of a parts order....

Its the nut behind the butt.
When I get around to it, I will call MTH to order a single or set of two 6 wheel heavy weight 3 rail passenger trucks for a Premier combine car. My post on the WTB forum got no reply so I assume a used one is not readily or easily found.
The new Texas & Pacific F7's offered by MTH? or Atlas or Lionel. Or Missouri Pacific F7's.
The new Missouri Pacific RS3's when offered by one of the same builders.

A couple of MTH MRL woodchip hopper cars.
MTH GE NextFuel ES44AC demonstrator or the MRL SD70Ace in the latest catalog.
Maybe a Santa Fe E6 set
A MTH Premier Maryland and Pennsylvania caboose, a MTH Premier baggage and coach set in Western Maryland livery. Picking them up this Saturday at MB Klien.
I forgot to add on my original post that I also ordered the GGD 6 Car Harriman set in SP Livery.

My next purchase will be a scale size three light subway signal like can be seen in the Grand Central subway station. I know of one vendor who might be able to make one for me. Anyone into subway models knows that type of signal was really hard if not impossible to find.
The M1 Mountain Coal Train Set from Lionel is my next purchase and probably a set of PFE Sound Cars.
Sounds like all happiness issues have been rectified
Rexall Center flow hopper cars, if I can find them or someone will sell me 2. Otherwise, wine, women, and wiskey in no particular order.

Luckily its payday $$$
I will be purchasing a new Turntable, a 34" one to handle the big steamers. it should be a fun addition to the South Philly and Western. The bench work has began, Finally!

Good luck. Hopefully the replacement trucks will not fall apart like the recent ones have.
Anyone notice how Bingo Player" always asks just one question & then never returns to the conversation that he himself started? If you are still "out there" Bingo, just which engine do you plan on buying?
A 1946 PW 671 turbine
Still waiting on a pre-order MTH PRR BB1 Rats. I hope they're worth the wait. In the meantime, pre-ordered all the 64' Strasburg passenger cars MTH just announced in the '15 V2 catalog. I missed out on them last go around; not this time.
For me of late it has been ordering from the next new catalog. So I am patiently waiting for a couple of Lionel BTO switchers, the next batch of scale car carriers and a couple of freight cars..................Paul
