For my Texas Special 15" "roll my own" project, I purchased, from North Lima Train Works, the LIONEL "Palm Leaf" sleeper shell and interior.  TS operated a number of sleepers; and, I purchased O scale TS decals on eBay for this and some other "new" cars for the consist.

As a Texas Special fan myself I approve Best of luck on the project!

Bought these from our friends north of the border, the Royal Canadian Mint... really cool. The three coins (app. 1 ounce silver with gold accents) are:

  1. 4-4-0 locomotive of the Great Western Railway (GWR)
  2. the RS 20 - the first diesel road locomotive manufactured in Canada, and was built in 1949 by Montreal Locomotive Works
  3. the General Electric ES44AC locomotive

Went to a local, small train show yesterday and the only thing I saw that I REALLY wanted was a Lionel 763 but $900 was beyond my budget. Finally picked up a nice 675 at a decent price. Also the seller is going to fix two Standard motors for me. Later we went to some antique shops in New Oxford,  saw some trains but didn't buy anything. There was an Ives Standard gauge set in nice shape with some nice light poles and fencing but too  much $$. Saw a set with a very nice 726  & 3 Madison heavyweights, all with 2625 numbers  and a nice  681 Turbine.
