Waiting on my GM Train of Tomorrow from Sunset (might even have been their last one), but I did receive my performance alternator & retro headlights for my Mustang, to be installed Tuesday. 

Where's the rest of the car?

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

Nice!!!!!!!!  Will take that over a 2016 corvette stingray any day.

Thank god its Friday!!!!!!!    Here are some of my other plunder this month.  The big one came from forum member  bluelinec4. MTH Premier GN SD45 One from the Bay #411. He made the connection to OGR,  contacted me offline, and was good enough to offer up #400.  #411 was great #400 made my day. Now I am just waiting for my order from Shapways to come in so I can install Kadees.

Second find was a  CMMC 50' Box Car. Didn't think twice when this popped up. Needs work but plug/standard door combination hard to find.

Finally a Lionel CB&Q Extended Vision Waycar.  This was my consolation prize as I lost track of time Sunday and failed to get a final bid in before the auction closed ( Was out bidded twice )on a Sunset CB&Q wood waycar.       Ok way cool for me.

This is an angle I've not noticed before. In combination with the paint job it creates a very interesting wedge style the makes it stand out a bit more than other SDs.

Nice additions. Thanks for capturing the look it the way you did

Details for my mine shafthouse came in....horizontal steam engine, to power a single spool mine hoise and lift a mine hoist cage.  Those three items are the first to arrive of several over due.  Waiting on a steam tractor to see which I like better to power this hoist.

  I'm thinking that having a Bacon Jam sundae while running trains this summer.  

Bet this would be great on Scrapple.....

Hit several hobby shops today, and got two sets of woodland scenics figures, a bound 1943 set of model craftsman magazine, and a book on hawaiian railroad action during ww2 that I've wanted for a very long time.

Also got several detail parts of various types.

Birthday presents from my family!

Hi DMASSO, Don. Beautiful Fun Toy, I just recently sold a 2015 Corvette StingRay,

and you bought a 911 perhaps?

Remember the movie, "Aliens"?

I found a great die-cast version of the APC from that movie at a local comic book store today and couldn't resist. Turns out, it looks almost perfect for O scale. I just took these photos for fun, it's not on the layout now.

Tim,

Very nice!!!  It is great when a father and son share the same interests.   I would have loved to share model trains with my dad or daughters, but my dad would have loved it if my brother or I stuck with fly fishing!!  He has been great about encouraging our own interests, and I have done the same with our daughters.

I try to be.   I usually don't get all these cool toys on my birthday.  However; they decided to spoil me this year!

Psst...they may not want to admit it but thy want to run them too.

Snagged this little guy today, I just liked the colors. The start of my "crayon box" 200 series freight consist.

Got this from Joey at Nicholas Smith last week

Picked up the Southern E8 #6900 Saturday.  It makes a companion unit to the other two since they are all contemporary running units.  Two here at the NCTM the N&W has been a visitor here also.
