Yes he is! I liked his store. Loads of great stuff packed in there along with a layout! I wish he was a little closer, Wheeling is about a two-hour drive from me.
Unfortunately, about a 10 hr drive for me.. Closest is probably Legacy Station about 2 1/2 hrs...
No photos at the moment, but I received my Lionel 2363 earlier today. 1955 production with brown lettering.
MikeH posted: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)
Both look great. I love the classic ATSF paint schemes.

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

If not mistaken from what I have read it is effectively a 78.
MikeH, you have a very cheerful-looking layout.
Got some light fixtures from Evan Designs for my building kit. Coach lights for the main entrance, and goose neck's for the loading dock.

RSJB, Nice. I checked out their website. A lot of cool stuff, well organized, and things are clearly explained. I'm sure I'll make use of the site.
Are these the 7-19 volt lamps? How do you plan to power them?

Jerry- the kits come with a harness (pictured), that has a resistor included. The LED's are 3V rated and the resistor allows for use on higher voltages. I have several different lighting circuits on the layout. These will be on a 6V circuit so I will use the resistors. I bought their mulit-led strings that I use for Christmas lights. These are battery powered.

I picked up this Life Like HO PRR E-7 and Walther's RB 50 Refer over the last several months. And I just finished this Bowser N5 Caboose kit.

I purchased this Postwar Lionel 128 newsstand at a really good price that I just couldn’t pass up. I already have the modern remake, but I am partial to postwar items, so here it is.

Being a fan of the NYC, I saw that @MrMuffin'sTrains had some had the NEW NYC E8s and matching passenger cars. He also had some more military trains that I wanted. They arrive tomorrow. Happy Easter to me.

Bought a pile of junker Rail-craft two bay hopper cars for repairs, along with a couple of other two rail cars. I'm not sure on the diecast three bay hopper, might be early Walthers or possibly Alexander... The Westbrook PRR boxcar is wood with cardstock sides and the C&NW boxcar I am not sure about. Love these old tin/brass hoppers...

It only took me 50 plus years of collecting/running/repairing but I finally added the Holy Grail of prewar Lionel "O" to my collection. It is perfect, like new. I can rest easy now.
