Picked up these PRR ore cars by RMT for a very good price. RMT does a real nice job on these ore cars. Even though I bought each one seperately I still managed to end up with consecutive road numbers.
The Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point ore cars are also RMT and I've had those for a while.

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.

Added a P40DC (soon to be repainted as Phase IV Heritage unit #184) and a Dash-8 to the fleet. Slow progress but I hope to get where I want to be soon.

Yes. A very cool piece I picked up today at the Allentown (Pennsylvania) Train Show. Good price, too. Lionel 1930s Mickey Mouse Hand Car, with Minnie providing half of the power.

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:
- 4-4-0 locomotive of the Great Western Railway (GWR)
- the RS 20 - the first diesel road locomotive manufactured in Canada, and was built in 1949 by Montreal Locomotive Works
- the General Electric ES44AC locomotive
Enlarge the pic for a clearer view.

Last year, I signed up for email/newsletters from Mr. Muffins. A week or so ago I received one of their regular emails with some interesting sale items. Got these beauties from USPS today... always wanted something from Maersk as well as some tank containers. Got both in one purchase - thanks Steve (@MrMuffin’sTrains).

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.
I just picked up two WW2 uniforms from the 746 R.O.B, with a photo album.
