Buy anything cool lately?

Bought this r 51m recently to add to our Hogwarts Express.  Wizarding Fun.

Bought this to expand the layout 

Bought this Lionel set from the train shop I repair for.

Re-supply for current paint projects:

Paul those Alco's are very nice. A true S2 is on my list. I have a bunch of  K-line's but they don't do the engine justice.

Added a PC GG1 on sale.

John, that is about the most magnificent diesel I have ever seen.

Waited a while but worth it.

Lionel did a very nice job on it.

These came in the mail today, made my day😁

Here’s my power for the new passenger cars.

Took a swing on a lightly pictured AF talking station and won it for $25. It showed up and isn’t to bad... missing the steps, flag, and clock should be an easy cleaner.

I've been assembling some equipment to put together a modern-ish intermodal train.  My inspiration is the BNSF Lindenwood Yard.  That yard is adjacent to I-44 here in St. Louis.  It was a Frisco yard originally.  I drive past it frequently.  There are usually dozens of engines there.  I'm not a fan of the modern orange BNSF paint scheme.  I usually see some old BN and Santa Fe engines there so that's what I'm going with.  Two new MTH engines and some used rolling stock:

MTH BNSF SD40-2 (20-21175-1)

MTH BNSF GP60M (20-20817-1)

And the only rolling stock I have thus far: MTH BN spine car set (20-95055) and MTH TTX Husky Stack (20-95282) 

Your Mth engines and cars have very nice paint and detail. Have fun with them !!!!!

Mike, Great purchases and great photos to show them off.  Those Allied vans/containers look especially sharp with your current containers.

Thanks, there's a helpful intermodal thread here on OGR from 2016 that coincidentally got bumped today.  There is some good information there as far as pointing out the differences between MTH, Lionel, Atlas, and K-Line.  I settled on MTH really because their Premier huskys seem close to (or are?) scale.  Also, it seems like the MTH Premier intermodal stuff can be had cheaper (relative to Lionel and Atlas anyway) on the secondary market.  IOW, good balance of scale size, nice detail, and price.

Dennis, nice win! Is that a 45 RPM record I see lurking down there amongst the innards?
