Picked up this 41 Army switcher from the bottom of a box at our local train show yesterday, was missing front coupler and dirty but struts were there and no cracks around the screws.
Fixed front coupler and gave it a good cleaning and oil and lube. Ready for another 60 years.
Have to get some military cars out and haul them around.
Bob, you just need to exercise eminent domain

Mike... please don’t give Bob any ideas!!!
Paul, not my kind of engines, But I sure do like your engine service house! NICE!
And you don’t like PA’s??? HERESY
Thanks for the kind words on the engine house - that is a Korber model which I bought built up at York a couple of years ago. It was built (and signed) by Alex M.

Those are the words of a single man for sure! LOL
Or a man that will soon be single! 
Paul, That is very impressive to have something build and signed by Alex M.!
As for Bob, I think he already has a lot of ideas running around in his head! LOL
Well today marks the day that phase one of the yard improvement is nearing completion. All I have to do now is finish nailing tracks and start adding ties to where I removed them due to cut track. Phase 2 will consist of smaller buildings and lighting.
Here is the new car shop that is 90% complete. Hoping to finish up tomorrow and start planning the supply list for phase 2 improvements.

Who makes the car shop kit?
Thanks.
Paul, what I meant when I said "real model railroading" was building kits, kit bashing and scratch building things as opposed to opening boxes.
Carl- It is a Walthers cornerstone car shop kit.
NS6770FAN, Looking nice! cant wait to see you have it done with some engines in it!
NS6770FAN, Once again, I agree with my younger brother Mike, that the engine house/car shop looks great!
Went over to Menards to pick up my REA stuff. Got an email to say it was in but I have learned through past experiance to wait another day or so. That way it is unloaded and set to be picked up. Pic...........Paul
Hard to believe. Was all set to go work on the layout and the wife got the mail and said theree was a package for me. I have a hard to find bucket list and now I can cross off this item. Another Weaver TOFC made for Metca. Pic.....Paul

Carl ,
keep in mind it is HO , if interested in a Oscale 2 track one , very similar but different enough not to cause any issues with Walthers
I have one made but not assembled , email in my profile for any interested parties .
Third package came this afternoon. Wire and jumpers for the terminal blocks I just bought. Pic........Paul
Paul, You sure must have been good lately!
Most of this I've had for a while. I am willing to admit the only reason I bought everything except the camera (because I collect cameras) is because of the name.
That's pretty neat stuff, Bill!!
