Buy anything cool lately?

Well, I didn't buy this stuff today but, I bought it yesterday at the Roundhouse Train Show at the B&O Railway Museum. I put together a little video if anybody wants to check it out.

@Lirr 1555 nice video! Jealous that you got to go to the B&O museum- hoping to go there myself some day And of course, nice finds,the New York Central reefer with that interior is very nice- well all 3 are- but that one is the one I liked the most. Very nice

RJ, Those are some nice items you got!  I especially like the milk car!  The photographs of some engines in the B&O Roundhouse are great!  It has to be about 30 years since my wife and I were there because our oldest daughter wasn't born yet!  How time flies!

Oh yes, I subscribed to your YouTube page!

Well- I did it again....

scored these yesterday

The RS-3 is a MTH Rail-King, box car is Lionel.

I also bought these two cars, and a WM TOFC with trailer, recently from forum member @cpowell. Not shown is a LIRR water tanker.

           hey Bob, you are filling up that new layout extension pretty quick now...    NICE !!

just as soon as I build it

They are all excellent, Bob!  I like the RS3 especially!

I used to go to SeaWorld San Antonio a lot as a child (despite San Antonio having no relation or connection to the Ocean), and when I saw this car I was instantly reminded of all the cherished memories of visiting the park.

This is the Lionel #26853 Sea World Aquarium Car, one of the more creatively unique licensed freight cars I think Lionel has made even though its around a decade and 3 years old.

Just arrived after a 3-day wait.

Thanks Mark- I've been on the fence about a RS-3 for a while because its designed for 031 minimum. Your old GP-7 makes it around OK so I don't see why the RS-3 wouldn't. Besides- I like RS-3's

Bob

Bob, I think it should be fine.  It's 2 axle.  I like RS3s too!  Oh I said that earlier!

I really like RS3s-a little large for my layout but maybe someday  ?

Well, Bob, it is painfully obvious that you have reached critical mass on your current layout and you must implement congestion pricing to raise the funds needed for infrastructure improvements   

Looks good... congested, but good!!!

I had not seen this. I loved Sea World too. Maybe more than Cedar Point. I got to feed meat to the gators and had hands on interaction with dolphin and orca a decade before I saw one in the Everglades or glimpsed the ocean's shore.  

  I got picked out from the crowd to take part in the Ohio shows a few times. I even knew to duck under splashes but not close to the tank, and avoid spit fountains (I was too distracted by the animals to have stage fright) They are warm and rubbery like a wet suit of leather. I thought the dolphin more scarry because of how fast they move. Like an big anxious dog's long snappy snout... don't forget about all those teeth right there kissing you

I always get picked at animal events. And always turned down Jungle Larry's and others  . Oh, except the boas, I liked snakes (good eatin' too). As a kid, a relative was a Bozo stand in with ties as old as vaudville... I came to realise a while back I saw lot of back stages and met a lot of names at different times of my life.)

Paul- I shot past critical mass a LOONNNNGGGG time ago

This morning I went to Michaels and got all I needed to paint my own backdrop and this afternoon USPS dropped off my package from Scenic Express with more ground turf and white water paint. Pics..............Paul

Looks like you are in business, Paul!

Picked up my last locomotive. I've run out of room on my layout for any more and I don't keep locomotives in boxes or on shelves, so unless I sell one this is it. Anyways it's a MTH Premier Santa Fe 2-10-4 Texas with PS2 3V. I got it pretty much brand new for a little less than half of the MSRP from 14 years ago. Runs great on 072 and 054 curves. It's pretty massive and awesome all at the same time. 

 

Very nice Lou! Love the sound

 Call another great score 

Lou, nice looking engine. Don't worry about running out of room. I ran out of room more then 35 years ago.....Paul
