That is great, Larry!!
Looks good Larry, sure is a nice addition to your layout!
This this isn’t a new locomotive for some, but it is for me. I had it on layaway at my local hobby shop in Manassas, VA, and I picked it up this past weekend. It is the third Premier locomotive being added to my carpet central. It is a great locomotive.

Yesterday I got two sets of Weaver/MTH die cast trucks from Patstrains. I am hoping MTH will also issue the roller bearing trucks down the road. Pic..............Paul

Matt, Pat’s Trains is showing the roller bearing trucks as already in stock.
I saw that too when I was ordering the Bentondorf ones. Now I have to place an order for a bunch of the roller bearing trucks. Also I am wondering if MTH might issue the Weaver die cast trucks that they did for Cabooses...Paul
Got one of the Weaver 57' reefers with sound and LED indicator lights from forum member Rattler21. Very nicely detailed, good running modern car. I've wanted one since I first saw them, think it's cool the way the lights and sound cycle. (As others have made mention, the sound is kind of static-like, but still worthwhile).
These are usually pricy; so I'm glad to have purchased from Rattler at a better than typical price!

Was away from the trains for two and a half months dealing with a total knee replacement and while I was recuperating, three items I had ordered arrived (luckily, all were shipped USPS, so the mail room in my development held them until I got home.
First up, a beer reefer from the NJ HIRailers - gotta love Bert and Harry!!!
The second is another wonderful Long Island car from the Nassau Lionel Operating Engineers - some really nice, crisp graphics.
And finally, from Derek at Notch 6, the Madison Hardware boxcar. Wow... he got a lot of pics on that car and they are still crisp.

Paul,
All three cars are very, very well done!! My compliments to the groups that commissioned them and the manufacturers! It is amazing what can be done with graphics these days. I remember hand lettering cars, but then I was a draftsman long ago. 
I'm glad you are back home from the total knee replacement! My wife had one and needs another but our insurance says we have to wait for Medicare! She needs it. I have one I need done also, but I'm older so Medicare isn't that far away.
Great looking cars, Andy! I love those outside braced cars!! I have a few too!

Yup scored them cheap on eBay. Lot atlas stuff.
Picked up this Lionel 2332 GG1 set, super clean, even the track is super clean. Engine, passenger cars and the RW xformer have thier original boxes. One owner set, 
All for $300 bucks. Made a huge loop thru Ohio to pick up my 7.5 in gauge rails and ties for my backyard railroad and picked up the Lionel set on my way home.
