Reply to "Buy anything cool lately?"

PART 1: Splitting this into 2 parts based on when they were purchased. Everything below is in the 10 or so days before 12/27. A lot to catch up on here- finally "made the leap" to buying a Proto 3 diesel! Bought some new rolling stock to go with my engine, some accessories(after the NJT pics), some more military items to add to add to the layout and a postwar passenger car by a lesser known postwar manufacturer. Well- just see below and I hope enjoy the pics and videos! Due to the amount of pictures/videos, I'll split it into two posts. This one focusing on my main purchase- an MTH Premier NJT P40 cab #4300.

Leading off, my first Proto 3 engine of any kind. Bolted down to Nick Smith's on the 23rd, hadan idea of what I wanted but ended up getting something totally different. :

Other new items pictured are a Flyer 15b  transformer(off to the right) , Lionel Yard Lights, and an MTH workhouse(both by the siding)

I've found out, afterwards, finding rolling stck/NJT passenger cars is going to be rather difficult. For now, this guy will be leading Amtrak or Long Island Consistsnjt p40 header

MTH workhouses, Flyer 15b, and a really cool pick-up for anyone who likes adding a little military theme- boxed Corgi WW2 1:50 scale diorama with 3 diecast soldiers and a tank. There were 5 othersuch dioramas made.

Finally, the end part 1, here's an American Model Trains/Auburn Model Trains Santa Fe Observation car with a fluted roof. I have 3 other AMT Santa Fe passengers already(2 are the same)- a coach, combine and now this Obs. Car which is the first one I have that has the Fluted roof:
