In honor of York Week, a couple of items from Mr. Muffins...
First, from Lawn-guy-land... love the ‘64 -‘65 Worlds Fair theme - I went quite a few times as a kid growing up in Brooklyn (by subway, not the LIRR 
). And the MAP scheme is great.
Second, another MAP hopper - anyone surprised it’s New Haven??? 
And, finally, a PRR boxcar - I’ve always liked when they used a larger keystone...
Finally got to a train show in my area....bought an excellent condition Lionel 6346 Alcoa Quad Hopper for $25...
LGB RIGI cable car set.
Hopefully it’s not too terribly large for my O scale layout. Researching it, apparently this particular model was only for dealers to display in their showroom, to operate continuously, and has a nifty plaque stating just that. 
That would look great around a Christmas tree. And it would look super on my layout! 
Fly-planes play-trains, when you get that up and running I would love to see a video of it!
The cable car reminds me of what was on one of only two layouts I saw growing up. The man had his basement full of train layout with a snowy mountain in the back corner with a cable car going up the mountain.

Mark, that's why I want to see it. Maybe I can scratch build one! Lol

Yes Mike, I think you probably have the skills to scratch build one. You certainly have the mechanical skills.
@FlyPlanes-PlayTrains Thank you for sharing your neat purchase. It brought back a good memory from 55 or more years ago!!
Mike g., and Mark B. Yes, the cable car project would be very interesting, and I to would like to see the LGB RIGI Set work. I would even like a set as I think it would work well with O Gauge... April 2016, while on tour in Seoul Korea, we ride a cool cable car. It would be a nice accessory, and with LED lighting be a focal point type scene. It was a very safe and fun ride. Happy Railroading Everyone 
That's a couple of neat photographs, Larry! What a great experience!
Thank you Mark, it’s do to my wife being Korean, from Busan. Now, my dealer just called to say my ne Fake News Stand is ready for pick up. Wow, I’ll go get it next week, after the election. Happy Railroading Everyone 
I guess I have Williamsitis.
I keep getting good deals on those wonderful and simple Williams locomotives.
Here is my latest purchase from the BAY of E.
Williams Chesapeake and Ohio BL2
I had the Lionel caboose " I am a caboose hoarder" and I think It looks like a nice pair.
I bought this one from TRAINZ.com and I will suggest when you purchase from them request to ship via FED EX ground or USPS,
NOT SMARTPOST! It took forever to ship that way.
Larry, that is the second Fake News stand I have seen this week. I think I need to get one also!! I do think I recall you saying before your wife is Korean.
Harleyhouse, that is a great looking BL2!!
Bought the 56 Halloween Rickety Railroad Station for my Petite Standard Gauge & O Gauge Halloween Layout (2020). Its been 7 days of waiting for Priority Mail and it still has not arrived. Sooo bummed. Its the last piece of the Layout puzzle, hoping it arrives before the 31st. As of yesterday it was still in VA, and I'm in KS.
Just landed Williams Brass K4 number five for $64.....I've managed to pick up several of these over the years for pretty cheap. Just another project I guess lol. In the past I have picked up other Williams K4's for $60, $75, and $139 and then $200 for the streamlined version. I love K4's!!
Got really lucky, and through a friend, got my grubby paws on two of the rustic kits that were, l think, only available at the Narrow Gauge Convention, several of which l missed . The corner store, that l had bashed others into that format, and the garage. With no interesting rolling stock, glad there are structure kits and Menards buildings to provide a background. Sure got a lot of work ahead of me.

I have the same engine. I highly recommend changing the motors to series wiring. It will run much better at slow speeds.

And the lighting works better also!
Mike G., nice haul from Menards. Those flats look great as does the water tower. Your mother in law came through big.
PRRRick, those K-Line Pacifics were neat for lower end steam. I've got a NYC in gray "Lightning Stripe" paint and an Anheuser Busch.
Thomas, nice score on that Pennsy steamer.
Paul, can't say I've ever seen that LawnGuyLand map hopper but it is show stopper. I always liked the map series and I remember a trip to that World's Fair from the Bronx, probably aided by the 8mm home movies taken by my parents.

And I find the switches on my layout work better when voltage is applied at a proper level. These engines are rockets at 6V but my old Lionel switches hardly move.
K-line diesels are the same.
