Reply to "Buy anything cool lately?"

Got a TON, IMO, of cool stuff from the 2-3 weeks prior to York until now!!

but for this post, I’ll just give pics of my pre-York “big buys” and what came in the mail today

Pre- York Diesels:

FINALLY- first o scale Legacy Conrail Diesel! SD40 Savings Bonds Scheme. CR is my fav RR

F552DDD8-C3BD-47F4-8D6E-2EDCEF4646E6

another FINALLY- Norfolk & Southern Legacy SD60m.

D0FC7EAC-739E-45BB-B195-99BD39D0549B

This & the CR SD40 are such “key” additions for me because of their RR’s large geographical & the eras each encompasses. The CR covers the 80s and early 90s, east coast & Midwest. NS can cover to present day and can be seen almost anywhere

Another  “key” addition- Legacy Santa Fe SD40 in blue/yellow freight scheme. Got it for almost  half off since it was a store display model & has a partially broken window. But it functions great!

C9347BAC-930A-41F9-AC42-AD486C979BF5

Why is this a key addition? First, I have plenty of western RS- especially Santa Fe. Before this loco, I had an ATSF GP35 Kodachrome and ATSF GP35 with BNSF stamp, and while I love those locos- neither is your “normal” regularly seen Santa Fe freight puller with six axles

Wanred to include this as well even though it’s not a loco- Atlas A&B TTX/SP Gunderson twin stacks. I’ve always loved the look of these intermodal well cars and while only 2 isn’t prototypical, I’m very happy to have these to run with intermodal & auto train rolling stockB4C1183F-F22A-4B88-B5CA-13340C8F48DF

As for today’s Friday deliveries:

2 Lionel CSX boxcars.

3E05482B-6745-4B0F-BE0E-FD2197818A45

love the bottom one( it’s Lionscale) Wish I would’ve looked more into the“ big blue” prior to buying, issues with prototypicality. Regardless, the Lionscale boxcar is a nice addition to my modern and I love that it has safety stripes

And two hoppers from Atlas- LV PS4227 low side and UP 40’  air slide.

4D3BA419-1553-4E87-B7CD-174E59778E6F

Bought the LV to add variety to late 60s and 1970s Eastern consists, should look nice w/ Penn Central & other fallen flags led by a CR loco. The UP essentially for the same reasons except west coast and 60s/70s.

more to come!(hopefully soon!)
