Went to the SAMRA show yesterday in San Antonio and picked up my first MTH loco. It's an older Premier SD60M as UP 6316, and I don't think it had ever been run. Also found an interesting old Lionel Southern diesel engine (that's turned out to be quite the growler, which is really cool) and a neat little Perrier box car (that the spousal unit buys for me by the case... the drink, that is)
It's the simpler things in life, you know... at any rate, I still haven't found me a Southern caboose yet!

Would I like it? You bet I would, but wifey says I have to pay the electric bill first, if you get my drift...I am preparing space for a train room in the garage (we don't have basements in Florida) and have a lot of work do before I can start on a layout. Until then I have to live vicariously through forumer's layouts, displays, modeling and cool purchases.
We don't have basements out here in So Cal either so you're not a lone. I just got my garage cleaned up and build my first L Girder layout and so far so good. I haven't laid the track yet but in time I will. Just think of all the time you have to plan that awesome layout and it will happen.
After years on the run, the last of the UP "Gang of Six" was captured by the Isle of Denial Special Investigations Unit. The capture was complicated by a few "bounty hunters" also seeking to capture the suspect, but the IDSIU was successful in making the arrest seconds before the suspect escaped.
Nicknamed "Rio", the suspect was captured without incident early yesterday evening hiding in Dallas, TX. The suspect is being extradited to a holding facility in California where the rest of the gang is being held. There have been reports of an alleged mastermind behind the gang, nicknamed the Flag Bearer, who is a locomotive of interest and a BOLO has been issued. Stand by for future reports.

I'm nopt going to lie to you that is an awesome looking locomotive the black paint scheme makes it look mean.
Thanks!!!
It's not scale-sized, but it looks and sounds great!

Who cares aboput exact scale as long as you like it and it sounds and looks cool that's all that matters. I am a non-protoypical guy myself and mix everything up. I run Rock Island trains when most people in CA won't touch them but the paint scheme is nice. Originally Posted by Keys6700:

True, I totally agree, I have scale, 0-27, and standard o, with tons of different road names. I just buy what I like.
Plus I have a 4'x8' layout with 0-31 curves, so I can't run almost all scale locos and cars...
Now this is funny

This great running clockwork Dorfan 154 steamer arrived today. The only casting flaw is the drawbar post is broken off, but not from zinc past.

1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport with Sportsroof. One of my favorite real cars that I have all but given up ever finding a decent one to buy. But now I have it in 1/43 scale to place on the layout when running 'modern' trains. Made by Green Light for under $20.....VERY nice.

Great find. 
I wasn't really into Blue Oval in my youth, but I loved the 1971 and 1972 Torinos and Ranchero's. I just loved the lines of the cars. The '57, '71 and '72 Rancheros are on my fantasy pickup collection list along with the '59, '60, '69, '70, '71 and '72 El Caminos (wasn't that much of a Bow Tie fan either). Seems the Rancheros and El Caminos were popular in two states -- California and Texas. Sales were lukewarm everywhere else.
