After battling with FedEx (don't ask), my pink/red MTH repro Lionel 408E arrived today. Bought from a OGRR member. I'm beyond thrilled. Seen next to a similarly sized Ives National Limited Pullman- HA! with mismatched couplers!

Fantastic score. I love this trolley set.

for my Std. Gauge layout table. Been looking at this for a while on the evilBay. Finally took the plunge.

22" long, 12" deep, 21" tall at the top of the chimney.

These will look nice alongside the 50' versions done by Pecos River Brass

Well Bryan, the pressure is off the two of us. Mr. Brown just dropped off my new Z4000 from Mario's. Ordered it yesterday and it was on my doorstep this afternoon and with free shipping. No pic just about everyone knows what a Z4000 is.............................Paul

Another item received to complete my piecing together set 1553W. The flat with trailers is the last piece I need. Worth 7 bucks I think.

Some more cool stuff posted.  This came today. MTH ATSF Waycar.  Ok cool for me.

Was going through some things that's been packed away. Found a few buried treasures. Thought I would share them. A coaster from that little 1880 village in Missouri. It is from July of1966.Very early  in the village's life .  It open in 1960, I'm not sure when the Train Ride started running, but it couldn't been running long. Also are two glasses; they are 4 inches tall and they speak for their selves.

42" display case from Lionel's Century Club M-10000.

I previously purchased two 4-piece stationary roller sets from Crest.

I intend to router out a channel in the base. I will add another piece to the bottom side with base track and wiring. Then make drop in block track pieces to place along side the roller blocks for an adjustable stationary operating display case. Previous forum threads gave me some pretty good ideas for this.

I can then test, operate, and display any of my locomotives or powered rolling stock. I wanted a long enough one to accommodate my Big Boy.

When I get to the project I'll have to post progress on another thread.

Yesterday I took a ride down to JustTrains in Newark Delware and bought the MTH Railking Norfolk Southern Operating Action Car with all of the fallen flags logos inside and then I took a ride up to Nicholas Smith TRains and purchased the MTH Railking Penn Central E-33 locomotive.  Was a pretty good day for me.

Finally picked up this set! 

Beautiful set!  The Pennsy M1a is a great engine. Enjoy the set.
