Scored another Weaver wood chip hopper on the BAY and bought a non train related item. A Tee shirt commerating the Turkey drop on WKRP. A great oldies TV series. Pics..............Paul

Nice car and shirt, Paul.  I could count the number of times I watched WKRP on one hand, but I saw that episode!  LOL

I watched that episode and laughed until my sides hurt.Which is very hard to do when your a kid.The part that had me rolling on the bed was"OH MY GOD THERE THERE COUNTER ATTACKING!!!!"

Yes it did Mike. Made a few ugly squeals along the way so off to the work bench before I run it again.

Bob, nice little engine.

This morning  I went to the Toy & Train show in Kirkland, Ohio. Not a very big show and I did not expect to find anything but I landed 3 Weaver reefers for a great price. Pic..........Paul

I treated myself to this Lionel 6-11818 set from 1994. It was listed as used but was new in the box.

When was this auction?

Nov 30th.  Was mentioned in the Notch6 podcast he did with hotwater.

Got a 2322, this Pennsylvania railroad item, and a couple light bulbs for my 2340 at the Toy and Train show in Kirtland, Ohio. (Now keeping my eyes out for a 2331 to complete the postwar FM collection.)

Was that his stuff in the Stout Auction? I wanted those extra daylight cars but wasn’t willing to pay what they went for

Yes, there were like six engine I would of bib on if I had the money 

Santa Fe diner, polished aluminum, "won" on the bay--I was the only bidder and the diner was listed as having a "wrong box."  It's for a paint project, so who cares about the box?

Paul 2;

There are actually two of them (94924, 94925) - I only posted a pic of one. I picked them up from Grzyboski’s a couple of weeks ago, but they are no longer on his website. Nicholas Smith (my second favorite place to give money) still shows them as available.

P.S. Since there is a Paul, and you’re Paul 2, does that make me Paul 3???

Paul 3, LOL

A old David O King Toonerville Trolley almost LN and runs great. I ordered one from a Train tore in Long Island, NY about 1980 and they never shipped. I did get my money back finally after filing a complaint with the Post Office and finally got this one about 38 years later lol.

Got both of these yesterday at the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL. A Weaver 40' Santa Fe express boxcar for my Fast Mail Express and a Lionel NYC GP9 B unit. The GP9 B unit will be painted in ATSF zebra stripes in the next few months to give me an ABA set of Geeps.

It's finally here! I bought this on eBay for a great deal last Monday and it finally arrived! Seller broke off one of the steps and the front orange cable broke off during shipping, both were fixed without too many swear words and with a bit of glue. Of course the engine works perfectly on my home layout. But I will have to take it to my local club to give it a proper shakedown, hopefully this weekend!

My DCS system arrived this afternoon. I wired it in and it works great in both DCS and conventional mode. I can't believe I didn't buy a command control system earlier. It's great fun. I'll have to pick up a CAB2 remote/base combo soon as well. 

Maybe, just got in a structure kit that was misidentified.  Seller offered partial refund back to pay vehicle,  and his site says no returns.  Awaiting resolution.  Guess l can bash it into something.

Great Buy Lou, Let me know how it goes, I have one but haven't really used it yet as I am still build the layout!

Colorado Hirailer, I sure hope you get things worked out!
