Reply to "Buy anything cool lately?"

A couple new things this week.

First up was a Lionel WM "Northeastern" caboose with the older circle logo to go with my recently acquired WM Shay. IMG_0966

Secondly was a 1990's Lionel UP 4-4-2 from one of the many starter sets that these 4-4-2s were included in back then.  My first set in 1997 was a NYC Flyer pulled by the NYC version of the 4-4-2.  A younger me accidentally ran it off the side of a layout I had back then which caused damage to one of the wheels.  We repaired it, but the repair didn't hold up to time and I decided it just needed a new chassis.  It's cheaper just to buy another locomotive than to just buy the part so that's what I did.  The donor locomotive appears to have had a nasty fall right onto its nose at some point as the pilot is cracked and hanging on by a thread along with some other cosmetic damage, so I didn't feel too bad about scavenging it for parts.  I now also have a spare tender for another locomotive, minus the air whistle which was also transplanted into mine.
