Buy anything cool lately?

          really like that engine Larry !    nice looking  !!

My dreams are finally coming true!

now I need to buy a tiu power up and I think I’ll be ready to start my venture into the mth dcs Wi-Fi system.

I just bought a Lionel 4006 Big Boy from another member on the "Buy or Sell" forum, my second major acquisition in less than 2 months. I know I really have to stop doing this, because I just display them, not run them, and my living room already has an entire 21-foot-long wall covered in bookcases, and another wall covered in original paperback artwork.

Here's the link to the locomotive in the Lionel catalog: http://tinyurl.com/y26dj5w4

And here's my artistic photo of the Big Boy in front of the Challenger I bought at the Greenberg show in New Jersey, less than 2 months ago. Please stop me before I commit "train" again!

Andrew, Congratulations on acquiring a Lionel Big Boy, just wondering if it’s a VisionLine, or JLC Version. Those monsters look really good. Thanks for posting.  Happy Railroading.(I see it’s a Lionmaster) that’s nice because it can operate on smaller diameter circles.. Thank You 

Is that a Lionelmaster bigboy? Just wondering. My dad and I love ours. 

Nevermind. I clicked on the link haha

Posted this over on What did you do....today,  already but this was such a great deal so.....

A co-worker is moving,  and clearing out his In-law's house at the same time. He gave me a great deal $200.00 for everything. The Scout set is nothing special but complete in the original box makes it a cool acquisition. The M-10000 set was his Father-in-law's. All original including the track, manual, transformer, rheostat. etc.  Most importantly BOTH VESTIBULES Copyright date in the manual is 1941.

Sounds good. They made even more! I'll probably never get all of them. They made them for a number of club cars. My collection started because I ordered one for myself and then my dad ordered the same car for me too without him knowing it. It was fine though. I ran the two together and thought, I should buy more of these. haha

Andrew, they have to go.

Andrew, the lion masters  are massive.  Thank you for posting!

I’ve been selling my HO stuff and I ran across all 6 of these in the Hobby Shop I just had to get them. I would like to see yours some day if there hand I might start a thread about them soon I would like to see all of the ones they made.

After waiting almost a month and a half, this finally arrived at my doorstep today.  T and I are going to have a fun project to do tomorrow!

Thad, I want to come to your house tomorrow.

Four of us went junk shop hunting today--Did we find any bargains?

Aye, Aye, Captain Bligh! This HMS Bounty in good condition has a working lamp! I'll be adding it to the pirate fleet in My Underwater Kingdom.

No, I have no use at all for this high-quality Snap-On Tool tube cutting set in perfect condition. So, what am I going to do with it? Brag on the internet about how I got it for only $1.

I like the ship, should look good on your layout.

Nice buy on the tubing flare kit, looks to be for double flaring tubing.

Got it it put together, but having a little difficulty getting the big hook strung.  Big PIA, but my eyes are starting to fail me and a pair of cheaters may be needed.  Will need to take a section of the job boom out to fit on the layout.  It’s an awesome die cast model, with very, very little brass nuts and bolts to get it assembled.  

Wow!!  Looks great Thaddeus!
