Buy anything cool lately?

I found this 3459 in a junk lot, and despite some rust on the trucks and some dirt on the surface, I think I got a pretty good deal for $20.

I have to check though for dry, cracked wires...

Mighty tempting for a guy with an 027 layout

They're having a "Blowout" sale on whatever Beefs are left in their warehouse.  Do it Bob !!!!!

Got all of this, plus a bunch of O27 tubular track and some old transformers, for $25 off Craigslist... the RS-3 runs well! I'm happy!

I've got a few good deals off Craigslist

If that is original, I'd say you did ok  

Scored another one last night. Picked up a MTH 0-4-0 work train set in B&O livery. I have one of these 0-4-0's already and they are nice little switchers. This one is # 97, the one I have is # 99. No track or transformer but for $60.00 bucks hard to pass up.

Only 4 of these engines were built for the B&O back in the day. The other two were numbered 96, 98.

I'm loving mine, and with the deep discount I received on the four PRR PEEP carriages, it looks great on my track. The only issue is the PEEPs are a slightly darker brown color. 

As for me, I grabbed another Marx tower. I'll probably find this and the Radio Tower a home close by one another on the layout. A little TLC and it'll look great out there.

What kind of caboose would that be; a bay window work caboose, bay window drovers?

I really like it.

It looks like it's an all original. I've seen some in worse condition than this go for over $100. Interesting to note though that the A and D on the door side have their holes full with the blue ink. I've seen a couple with the O in Lionel filled, but not the A and D.

Always wanted one of these, but missed it when it first came out. Just lucked out when Grzyboski's picked up a massive train collection - this one was new, still in it's shipper. Check off one more NY Central steamer from my list!!!

Excellent Paul. I have been waiting for Lionel to bring out a Legacy version, and have kept my eyes looking for these older ones as well. Hopefully if Lionel does ever make a Legacy version, it will live up to what a great locomotive should be.

These came in the mail on Saturday from the fine folks at Scale City Designs. Very quick turnaround time and a quality product for sure. Will be ordering a few more shortly.

Just got these green 2400, 2401, 2402, passenger cars in the mail today. First thing I did,  took them down stairs and rewired them. These are the second set of these green cars I have. I'm kinda partial to these 027 postwar passenger cars, I have several sets.

Yes, CSXT Switcher, NW2 Legacy....

Not quite sure. I've never seen one like it before. Almost the reason I bought the set.

Found a close prototype.

I like the postwar passenger sets also. Although I do not own the green set (yet), I do have the red stripe, blue stripe, red letter, grey roof and General sets.

Nice looking set.

I have two sets of the red lettering. One set I added the 2435 Elizabeth, the other set I put together  w/ another 2435 Elizabeth and instead of 2436 Summit observation, I added the 2436 Mooseheart observation.

Really happy to add this LC Amtrak set to my cork floor empire. It has all the problems and charms the plane vanilla LC has, but it is massive fun none the less. Here’s a video of it in action along with some other trains.

I searched  for this and finally found it at Pats Trains. Thanks, Pat!

By the way, the engine headlight is not mars, it just strobes on the video but not to the eye.
