Dan, I love what appears to be a fire coming out of the locomotive smoke stack. Your grandson will love it.
p51 posted:The DVD showed up with my layout on it. I watched the whole thing, they did a very good job. The only odd thing was, on the actual program itself, they showed still photographs at the end of it, and read through the captions in the original article. In effect, they wound up saying the same thing again, in a slightly different way. I got what was going on, but I think other people who watch it the first time might get a little confused.
Lee, congratulations! Well deserved.
Ordered these two from ebay. They were delivered yesterday. I am starting to get into freight trains i.e. their operation, what type of cars are used in different territories etc...

I finally got that John Coker Tweetsie print framed, as the frame I ordered just showed up this evening. I think it looks really good along that wall, on the far left. With the exception of the replica Baldwin Builders plate on the far right, everything else is either original to the railroad, or a replica of it.

Mike you could always use the HO track for amusement rides or sell it for money for the Menard's Brewery that Mark is making for us.
Hi Coach, I thought about selling it, but not sure yet. I just thought I might put a single track in the back for distance. But if someone was interested I would probably sell it! But not the print in the frame! I like that one!
Bought these MTH repros. Cool looking.

I m a sucker for these, have a bunch of older Lionel that I need to restore and newer MtTH that are good. Enjoy them as they will look great on your layout.
Mike, that's a downright insane haul for so little!
That's the type of score most HO guys can only dream of.
JD,
Picked up some Lionel 8" Christmas Balls for the Train Room, they arrived just yesterday. They will hang off the over head shelf Train layout, all the way around the room.

Lee, I know its crazy. the ladies husband passed away about 4 years ago and all of it had been sitting on a shelf for 5 years. Now she has to move because of health reasons and is having a sale where everything must go. She also has auto to go with them but couldn't find them at the time. But told me if she finds them she will call me and there mine for free! She says its part of the set for the original $25!

Dave nice addition to your train room! Whats next?
Mike-great haul. I like the idea of a HO loop in the back of the layout. I've been toying with putting a single line up above my layout eventually. I have tons of HO stuff and it would be nice to be able to run it.

I agree Bob, HO or O its all fun to run. I just thought it might give it some depth!
Picked up this mike at the Amherst train show, West Springfield, Ma for 950.00 from CharlesRO. Doubled headed with NH ten wheeler. It’s really nice with legacy to have different engines, with different gearing being able to run side by side perfectly.
Nice Engine Gary!
Got a great deal on a set of Williams 027 passenger cars. Since I’m a toy and not scale guy, I adore these. I’m also not a purist and will pull them with anything. Right now being pulled by a starter set MTH Southern loco p3.
I can also report that they are really well made. Solid. Metal trucks, etc. I’m going to look for more. Wish they had them in Amtrak livery, I want 027 Amtrak cars badly.
