Thank you! The Lionel/Mr Muffins team did a wonderful job on these models!

I got some fun MPC operating cars and a rare car also lately.

I had a friend that wanted to trade locomotives, so we were both happy. I traded a 1999 Shay, for a 2000 model Southern Mountain locomotive. Also my CSX 1st Responders Diesel arrived. Everything works. The reason for the trade is I just had no room for a logging train, and I love the green Southern steamer. I’ll have it upgraded to the newer sounds and Gunrunner Johns chuff stuff, super fan driven smoke system, ERR sounds, etc. I also got my new Fake NewsStand, pictures will follow. Happy Railroading Everyone

Just picked this up for $250, my first set of 18" cars.....

I bought a lionel MI jack on ebay but I have to order a replacement part to fix it. But I think it was worth it.

Great looking set. love those Sharks

I always wanted a set of sharks, and what could be better than Daylight Sharks?

Her Majesty, the 773:

I've wanted one of these for so long that now that I have one, I think I could be happy never buying another locomotive.

Of course, we  know that won't happen because that is not the nature of the beast. LOL, Arnold

I have three different Milwaukee Road milk cars now😊 A red and orange one, a blue one, and this one. I can die happy now. Off the bay. It’s too bad the USPS saw fit to damage yet another package containing a train of mine. The car seems perfectly intact. The window box suffered a thrashing. At least it did it’s job.

A new iMac so can get back on the forum and communicate with my doctors.

Not sure if I picked this up before or after the old Mac died.

I bought this extra M2 Bradley to paint in desert sand.  But before I do that since the turret  is plastic  will see if can cut the TOW assembly off and trim it to repossession in the transport possession.

And last purchase reminding me of home land ago.

Back in the day in my home state we could legally drink 3.2 beer at 18.  My high school buddy and I stopped at the ZANZIBAR on Market Street to drink our first legal beer, a Schlitz June 1964.

Went to an outdoors under roof train meet yesterday in se Pa., a little cool to say the least. Several vendors, mild amount of trains on tables, o-ga, Lionel mostly postwar and MTH.

I previously made arrangements w/a vendor who reconditions Lionel transformers. I met him there and swapped two 1033 transformers and some change for two reconditioned 1033 transformers.  Also from the same vendor I bought a reconditioned ZW 275. which I thought was a good price. From another vendor I purchased a very nice pw 404 Budd w/ box and insert. I left the meet $300. lighter

Very Kewl, My Favorite controller for sure!! Just added one my self from a great Member on this Forum! and......And...... opened a dusty box to discover a Twin ZW to yours....... avter a clean up, going to test er on test track and see if it works! Love the Green and Red Lights.

Thanks for sharing! Great Catch

Here are the photos of my new Lionel 4-6-4 Hudson Lionchief plus loco.  I bought this from Charles Ro and it arrived in less than a week!  Wow.  It was shipped by FedEx.  The driver placed the box under my carport(light rain today) which required a 40 feet walk from where he stopped on my driveway.   Outstanding!!!  Other carriers have not done this.

Very nice engine, Dan!!  Great service from Charles Ro, FedEx, and your driver!!

Thanks Mark.  It was indeed.  BTW Charles Ro usually ships by FedEx.  On another note, I weighed my Hudson and it is 5 lbs, the tender is 2 3/4 lbs.  My guess is the engine can easily navigate a 2-3% grade.

Got on a Santa Fe/BNSF kick this week. Two new MTH SD40-2 engines and I was lucky enough to find the Lionel Legacy Black Bonnet edition 3762.

Purchased this CN super dome a while back from GGD. Solid brass and very few ever made. I run it with my MTH CN F7s and the matching 70’ passenger cars. Thanks for having this made Scott, hope you make other passenger cars of this road name.

I picked this up off of Trainz for a really good deal. I thought it was not sealed though. Now I have the tough decision to make.

Nice find on the 8600 NYC set. I really like the 665/2065 derived locomotives and wish Lionel would make a modern version like they did for some of the others through their PWC and Conventional Classics line. All black and 665 road number would be my wish.
