Picked up these two on the bay. A Lionel postwar 6112 white gondola and a early Lionel MPC era 9150 Gulf tank car. I wanted the 6112 but after getting the pair I really like the 9150 does anyone know if this came in a set or separate sale from MPC?

Where's the rest of the car?
I just bought a grain elevator kit, made by the outfit in St. Louis, whose name I can't think of, do not yet have it in hand...this is now way too many elevators, including the kitbashes and scratchbuilds, and one unfinished, that cover my shelves. Just two more known kits out there....both expensive....Altoona and B.T.S. I will wait until they show up in estate sales or somewhere. Planned is a peninsula on the layout that is a prairie branch that mostly serves elevators, a lot of them, or as many as I can cram onto the space....mostly all small ones to look like a stretch of track in Alberta in times past.

The standby set came from the first run ... right? The "rest" is coming from what we are all hoping will be a second run...
Yes, the standby set came form the first run. Im positive they will get made prolly at the same time as the Empire Builder

Hopefully you'll see her after the work's done tomorrow. Still will need to get hood re-painted, though.

Man I hope you are right Matt! No matter how you look at it though I doubt we will see anything until 2017 at best...
waiting that long tends to dull the itch .....especially with some of the really nice 18" aluminum cars coming up for sale recently.
I've got the Empire Builder on order as well so I want to see the negotiations come thru too
I haven't done it just yet, but I'm on the lookout on the evilBay for as many vintage Barclay, Manoil, Lionel, Trico train people I can find that I don't have already for my Std. Gauge layout. And drooling over the Barvlcay website for some of their new pieces too.

GM Train of Tomorrow from Sunset, That's cool. They had one left the last time I looked. Been on the fence with that one. Now its to late. Now for the really cool stuff. How about pics with the retro lights installed.
Some pretty cool stuff posted I had a pretty good month as for purchases. My wallet hurts but worth it. Picked up stuff I had been wanting for a while. Ok picked up a Weaver NP RS 11 to go with my Lionel Legacy NP GP9s( I don't remember if I had posted these) all three had been converted to Kadees. Anyway I had made a video all three are in it. OK cool for me.
We were at Trader Joes the other day and picked this up. It's always been my theory that anything is better with bacon. I'm thinking that having a Bacon Jam sundae while running trains this summer. Oh yeah, the ice cream in the sundae, Chocolate Bacon from Memories ice cream in Kingston NH!
I picked up this Schnabel car off eBay. It's something I've been wanting as I worked for Westinghouse Nuclear Components Division here in Pensacola.

Here ya go. Just need to repaint hood, wash & wax, & detail the interior, & she's ready for summer.
