Buy anything cool lately?

Nice...and a fine layout too. Is that Gargraves track?

Mark in Oregon

Yes, Gargraves.

These two arrived today.  The coal dump car should be here by tomorrow.   Williams by Bachmann operating cars.  No OCS or UCS need apply.  The hand held transmitter does all the work, anywhere on the layout ! 

EDIT:  Had to send the full length dome back.  Posted a WTB for a LIONEL 6-19128, a 15" polished aluminum Santa Fe full length come, without an interior.

Buy anything "cool" must include the stuff that goes into "cool" for me.  Cool will be making a Texas Special train from Santa Fe polished aluminum cars.  The cars I now have, but I also have:

Not pictured here, but previously posted, are the MOLOTOW liquid chrome that will replicate the stainless trim on the cars, and the Texas Special plaques from LIONEL parts department that will go on the cars.

Christmas cookie tins to go with tinplate trains under the tree next year.  Got a great price on the bay.

Don,

Those look great!  And, they bring back some memories of similar tins from bygone days. Just the right height for the tree, too.

Tomlinson Run Railroad

Fulgurex: St Gotthard 1 gauge steam engine.  Only 35 hand made, all brass and their first Gauge 1 engine with smoke ( has sound and lights, etc.). Blueish Grey and black livery.  Think its the 1910 version, all Era 1

Think this is a four cylinder version

According to where I purchased this, it will be there LAST Gauge 1 one engine produced by Fulgurex.   Will concentrate on HO and N.  Made to commemorate the completion of the  new Swiss St. Gotthard tunnel, the longest under ground tunnel in the world (35 miles+ long).

Just received it last night

New Lionel SFSD45.

Went to the Snow Dogs S gauge show in Parma today and came home with this for 10 dollars. Pic.......Paul

Wow, some great pictures above and some Great finds. My RJ Corman SD40-2 finally arrived and worked out of the box, and my dealer checked it out before I picked it up.  The Caboose however, needs to have the brakeman re-positioned. He’s on the floor.....Must have had a real quick stop......It’s gonna be Ok...

Glad to see someone able to have a good use for them ! 

Bought MTH 30-73302 Hawaiin Kona Coffee Smoking Tank Car on Friday. Have been scouring the internet, using saved searches on auction sites, forum WTB, and looking for this at swap meets and train shows for better part of 2 years. On Friday, out of the blue, I decided to go to the MTH product search page and Find It Locally tab and it showed up in Train Loft's (Winston-Salem) inventory. Called and spoke with Jeff and he shipped it out same day. Already have a string of these smoking tank cars so happy to add to the consist!

I don't have a lot of want to buy items on a list, but I have been hunting for this and the original Christmas ES44AC (forum member came through on this one) without any luck and found them both in the last 30 days. The small wonders in life bring a lot of joy!

Someone asked where I found this Legacy RJ Corman Diesel, BTO.....Almost 2 years ago seems like, and here it is just after the Christmas Season and tons of BTO items are arriving.....I am pleased with the engine as it’s Legacy and Blue Tooth compatible.  Do to Living in Clarksville Tennessee, the RJ Corman railroad delivers goods in my city....Happy Railroading...

Picked this original locomotive box for the 636w set I have. Still unopened on one end. And this 253 for a couple cars. Both came from eBay.
