I don’t have pics yet of all my tin pick-ups in the last 2 weeks, but here are two of my favorites:

You may recall a few weeks ago I scored the Ives 1709 Box car- last weekend at the Renninger’s trains show I picked up the 1708 Stock car-Completing my Ives 1700 large freight series!

Next on my transition era list are the 600 and 500 series, sans the stock cars unless by God’s grace I’d somehow find one prices south of 200.

Got this next one off eBay for what I believe to be a very reasonable price. Bing drive model Water Wheel/mill Supposed to be run via a steam engine, apparently the hammer on it works. Fits right in with Bing’s other litho buildings and looks nice in open areas. One GBN logo and on bottom of the mill house it says dep. GBN

Front view- also new Bing watch tower that I posted recently is in the background

from an angle, nice shot of the Ives stock car too

wheel on the back to spin manually
