I do my best not to, but sometimes I fail. LOL, Arnold

Thanks Lee, 

  Just kidding about the collectability but who knows..... these are decent cars but I hate to say, I wish that they had a little better quality trucks. The CSX gondola's couplers won't stay closed but I've got some tiny black zip ties. I realize for the price they are a pretty good buy.

who knows it might be. There’s a YouTube video showing how to fix that problem with your truck coupler 

Just got in #1926600, Lionel undecorated skeleton log cars, but my pre-ordered Mopac RPO was "sold out"?

Just picked up:

3rd Rail C&NW H-1 4-8-4 Northern

#3016

New in box and shipper. Still factory wrapped.

I imagine I'll have to get in there soon enough to pull the factory battery out of the tender.

I couldn't help myself.  The price was just too good.

Got these in the mail last week. I’m starting to get addicted to 027 scale what have I been missing these are nice 

You got yourself some good looking cars there Lee!

They are great looking cars, Lee!

Picked up a new UTLX single dome tank car from Menards.

I'm not much of a collector but hoarding could be a different matter.....Having "discovered" Atlas O Sw8/9s (only 20-or-so years late) I find myself wanting moar. 

Here is #1:

It runs so slow, quiet&sweet I just HAD to have another so here is #2:

And one day soon the Postman will be dropping off #3  trainz shipped it yesterday 

Mike and Mark.  thanks I’m really getting into these o27 cars have a few more on my wish list 

Frank. Very nice I’ll have to go or to Menards in town and see if the have those in stock 

Lew. Now your getting to my soft spot with that C&O switcher. What a beautiful engine and runs well also great find but be careful you may turn into a another Briansilvermustang lol 

Lew, two excellent road names and paint jobs!  With that "track" record, I can't wait to see what your #3 switcher will turn out to be. :-)

I've already given up Paul. No sense even watching any more.

Yes- it has the Dashing Dan. Need to get it unpacked and charge up the battery.

Thanks

Lew,  Those are fine looking engines.  Are they conventional or some kind of hi-tech? 

I have a prewar set and two 50's steamers coming to the mountain.  Film at 11:00.

Picked up a CP snow plow from a local train show over the weekend. It looks great and fits well with my mostly Canadian themed layout!

 Bob I like that Coca Cola ribbon glad you was able to get it. Now what’s Santa going to bring you ????

I picked up these three great 16 wheel MPC machinery cars from a forum member. 9233 and 6509. (Thanks, Jon!)

I'm pretty much a small RR guy (MA & PA) switchers mostly.  But after visiting Strasburg every week since 611 showed up and taking part in all their activities I had to branch out a little.
