Buy anything cool lately?

Just got my Legacy Lionmaster Western Maryland Challenger and two MTH hopper 6 packs to go with it.  Super nice!  Whistle steam effect is a real game changer!

Picked these up at the Kirkland Ohio show today. Going to see if I can use these to power some dc modules I bought to control Menards buildings. The modules are adjustable dc..............Pic..............Paul

A few items I grabbed at the local train show today.  Once I saw it had to have it!

Got this today, this is my first purchase of a model train in over a year. But im glad i got this though

TRAINPLACE, If you would like the IT Green matching Lionel Standard O Caboose, I have one you may purchase. If interested, my email is (Larrylevin71@yahoo.com). I can send pictures, it's brand new in the box...That's a beautiful engine. Happy Railroading...

Brad Rock, that's a beautiful 773 Hudson, is it a 1950 Version? Thank you for posting.

Yes...lift rings for the 0 Scale DB V215. Installed, prior to painting:

Where did you get the lift rings?

Not a buy, but I got this great MTH Premier PRR USRA 0-6-0, caboose and a few other cars from Marc Williams on a trade.

Thanks Larry, but already got one.  Surprised how "faded" the lionel green is on it compared to MTH!

On eBay; a seller in Washington State going by the handle of "j-tprantle". Lots of good detail parts.

TRAINPLACE, there sure is a color difference. I wonder if the Lionel Version of the engine matches the Caboose? Thanks for posting...The Illinois Terminal color scheme is nice....

Let's see if the railfanning video works!  

First train show in 20 years.  It was a fun day!

Tim, Love the green on that IT Engine. 

Mark, I'm a sucker for anything PRR, especially steam but I have always been partial to the B6. Enjoy it. 

Pat,

Thank you very much!  Now I have it and a PRR A5.  Both are really nice.  These, some WM, and some B&O engines are making a nice Pennsylvania and West Virginia roster (two states I have lived in)  that will be able to handle the load on my new layout I'm almost ready to start building.

I found this giant 4' x 6' movie poster that was originally displayed in a city bus shelter.  I confess I've never seen the movie and don't intend to... the animation creeps me out (uncanny valley).  Anyway, it's a cool image and will definitely be a conversation piece once I get my dedicated train room going in a few years

Too bad you haven't seen it.  Its pretty good!   And that film put new life into Lionel!

I've seen bits and pieces of it but probably never in the right order nor all at once.  Agreed, thanks to that movie for the energy it continues to infuse into the hobby!

Bought it a a recent local train meet from a gentleman set-up across the asile from me at the meet. I waited until the show was about to end before making an offer. I passed on a 1964 version at the October York and am much happier with this one, guess it was just ment to be.   Now on the hunt at York for the matching  1950 Madison  passenger cars with the window sihouettes.

I got my Wire Harness a week early and Installed it. Now just charging the batteries and I thing my MTH PS2 Big Boy    will be good to go.
