Picked up a Lionel 6-18722 Percy from the late 90's brand new from eBay.
Last week I purchased an MTH Premier CSX AC44CW PS3. I wasn't able to run it until today but finally she made her way out of the box and onto the mainline. She is beautiful if I do say so myself but while I was admiring her beauty, I noticed that one of the crew figures made his way from the future:
He is wearing a VISOR like Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation! Lmao
Sorry, maybe I need to turn the smoke volume down on these MTH engines lol I might be going crazy but for some reason I found this hilarious!
Live Long & Prosper and Happy Model Railroading Friends!

I would have to have salted peanuts.😁
I just picked up the newly released MTH Railking R-62 Subway set 30-20509-1 and the add on cars from Just Trains in Newark Delaware. Very sharp looking set.

Gary, did you put your nuts on the Internet?
Get it tomorrow - a "new" ride, an 04 Chevy Blazer with relatively low miles. The best thing is there is no body rust.

Both our vehicles are ‘04. No body rust is a big deal! Congratulations

Picked up a pair of D&H passenger coaches. Needed something to pull behind my new D&H GP-9. Love the paint scheme on the D&H.

Bob, I really like the D&H colors and the more I see them the more I think I will be looking for an engine and passenger set..........
Bob, nice buy. The D&H, especially that paint scheme is one of my favorites........Paul
Well my last locomotive want, to complete things I wanted as a kid in the 90's, was a Lionel Warhorse Santa Fe hudson. Later, as I got back into the hobby several years ago after college/grad school, I discovered that MTH made a model of an actual Santa Fe 3460 class hudson. Lionel's model was just a NYC J1E scale hudson with Santa Fe paint. So I ended up changing my want to the MTH 3460 class model. I've been casually looking for one for about a month or so here but no one wanted to part with one. I did some looking around and found a model of 3463 with PS2 at a great price, about half of what it cost new, with 2 hours of run time. My eventual plan is to build an REA Express/Santa Fe express boxcar train or a Fast Mail express train for it to pull.

Lou, That is certainly a very nice choice!!

Thanks. It runs beautifully and smokes great.
It may sound strange but this was actually the last locomotive I planned on buying. I had a set goal when I got back into the hobby after grad school to build a layout and acquire specific equipment that fit the Santa Fe/Southern Pacific in the 1948-1954 time frame. I've got everything I set out to acquire now:
ABBA Santa Fe F3s and a Super Chief consist
ABBA Santa Fe F3s and a El Capitan consist
AA Santa Fe PAs and a Chief consist
GS4 Southern Pacific and a Golden State consist (currently working on repainting/letter cars for)
ABBA Santa Fe F3s and an SFRD unit train
GP9/GP7 Santa Fe and a boxcar train
AS616 Southern Pacific and a freight train
3460 class Santa Fe Hudson and a fast mail express train (eventually I'll be buying rolling stock for it)
So from here on out it'll just be tinkering with things around the layout and scenery. Which is fine, as that's the cheap stuff
Very disciplined buying!!
Nice Lee!
