If another set comes along, I'll have more of them. They're hard to find, seems I've been seeing a lots of everything but the Premier sets. I'd like to have some more to make an impressive consist, time will tell. 
Yes, they get gobbled up by the legions of hoarders to be buried in basements and captured on layouts. Mine need a lighting upgrade to get em up to snuff
p51 posted:Neat cars, I had no idea anyone made auto model kits that small.
P51, Revell had a line of 1/48 car and truck kits. I have a Ford F100 and a Mobil Gas truck kit both in 1/48. They made a production run of these 1950s kits in the late 80s - early 90s which is when I got mine. Problem Revell had lost the windshield molds so they included a thin sheet of acetate. Hard to form into a windshield. I have roughly 50 1/48 scale cars and trucks that took years to collect many were kits from the 50-60s . Also have some 43 but will probably sell most of them. If U.S. O scale model railroaders refused to buy 43rd scale vehicles someone would step in and make 48th scale. J
Yes. Lionel UP Station Sounds Diner Car! 
My first BEEP....probably not my last either 
Also picked up a B&O B-unit. I have the matching F3 A already

earlier this year I think. I thought the one had a more complete
drive train from blurry pictures.
Does anyone have any info or PARTS?
THANKS, JOHN
The Marx 200 windup Trolley came in two versions, one with a battery headlight, one without. I finally found a really nice boxed one on Ebay last year, some photos attached. The lithographed passenger figures in the window are great, as are the box graphics!

John I want yours..... I don't know how I missed the one on ebay last year.
Any chance of getting a pic of the mechanism?
Thanks
Well if it makes you feel any better it was not cheap, but I waited all these years to buy one so I thought I might as well get a good one. And as mentioned that graphic on the box was really neat. Here's the requested pic of the mechanism. It has flanged wheels to it can run on curved two rail O gauge track, or the floor- note the cranked orientation of the non-powered axle. Note also the bell.

John

I check ebay 3 or 4 times a day and have been for years.
I just got 5 more Weaver undecorated trailers today. Because it was raining Mr Brown had wrapped the package in a plastic bag.....Pic..............Paul

If you are looking for another set there is one up on the trainz auction site right now. It ends on Sunday. Not sure what the policy is on putting a link in this post. Just search for this, and it should pop up:
MTH 20-6524 Amtrak 4-Car Superliner Passenger Set LN/Box
My MTH Strasburg 4-4-0 and eight Woodside Coaches out for a brief run.
John, that’s a nice train. Good number of cars and a sweet little steamer to pull em
I've ridden the Strasburg several times, so it seemed like a good fit for my collection. I wish they had an operating 4-4-0, but since they used to, it's close enough.
I said I'd stop but ... bought an MTH Rail King PRR Industrial Water Tower. Hoping to grab a Lionel Control Tower, and I will be near Olathe next week. They have a Menards, and I'll see what I fly home with from there. At that point, the layout will be cramped full. From there, I go to laying down grass, dirt, and rock along with populating the layout.
