My carrying capacity was limited by coming on the NY charter bus. Not so much the mode of travel, but this particular bus had overhead compartments so small that a RailKing freight car box sitting upright just barely fit. And not all the way in either. I guess I could have used the baggage compartments if I really wanted to get silly though. Onward with the acquisitions:
Of course, the obligatory MTH York car. Got all of 'em so far, just keeping up the streak:
Department of Diminutive Details Department:
How long have the MTH 40-footers had these little grab irons mounted across the end ribs?
I renewed my MTHRRC membership at the Premier level, the club cars were on-hand so I got that one too:
At Neely's Train Shop in Purple Hall, I came across this MTH UP Airslide hopper. Always wanted one of these, and two road numbers showed up on the same table:
On my way back to the bus for the last time, I spotted the RailKing version at RPO Trains in Orange Hall. That one went home with me too. It's so close to the Premier version size-and-detail-wise, I'm going to make a seperate post about that later today:
What I didn't find:
--The second dome car of the K-Line aluminum Golden State set, the K4632-29841c "Golden Outlook"
--Additional Lionel flatcars from their 6-car assortments (particularly TTX). While I did spot three Pennsys in Orange Hall, and a full 6-pack of ATSF cars in Purple, I realized that my "Ridonkulous Flatcar Train" had only been run as a 30-car consist, was up to 52 cars now--and I had no idea if it would run at that length, much less 58-61 cars, so I balked...and the "First Rule of York" kicked in as I made my way back through Purple Hall on my way back to the bus.
