Buy anything cool lately?

Picked up a single set of the new Lionel VisionLine stock cars (unlike someone around here who I could name!!!). The cars are nicely done with clean, crisp graphics. It looks like the couplers are an improvement over the recently maligned ones on the milk cars. In addition to the cow sounds, the sound car also includes the standard freight sound. the set also includes a small herd of heifers Overall, I’m quite impressed with they cars.

Got a email Friday when I got out of work. Your order has shipped from Charles Ro. I don’t remember buying anything. Think that’s the first sign right? Checked my card sure enough it was run, all night and Saturday was thinking. What did I buy that was 100 bucks. Mail showed up and I guess I have another flat spot sound car now. I mean I don’t have much NYC rolling stock. Looks to good to return so I guess I’ll just have to keep it.

new hobo polar express car and rpo

Nathan, hoping the Mod Squad get rolling again. It has been a long time. Maybe this July.

Lee, thanks. I like what you have been buying.

The quest has begun or let the games begin. I just got this from Nicolas Smith Trains. Another addition to the Lionel PS-4 flats with pup trailers. ...........Pic.................Paul 2

You know Paul, from all your post I maybe losing it. But I don't recall you having that much layout space for all the Flat cars with pups! Even with the attic! LOL

Mike, Paul must have a massive area with shelves that we haven’t seen!  

Paul, yes I have been anxiously awaiting this mess to be over so I can visit a Mod Squad setup!!

Mike g and Mark, you are both right. I have no shelf space and the layouts can only accommodate only so many cars.  Thank God I do not buy engines like I do freight cars. I come up with an idea that if I see something of interest I go for it. Most of what I have been going for has been out of production for years. Well at least half of it is LOL......Paul 2

Paul, sounds like a solid plan. I will have to run it by the CEO!

I have a simple question for many of you posters.
Why don't you take the cover off so we can see a clear picture of your model?

Just received my New York Central E8's. They are pulling another new used purchase of military loads.

Just got this 3D print of a ET&WNC wood hoppers car yesterday, from Western Rails.

I am very happy with how it turned out, I only have to put a brake wheel and grab irons on before paint/decals/weathering. I already have the couplers and trucks.

It's got a lot of heft and is much better detailed than the wood kits I built last year...

Outstanding!  Superb modeling and weathering on those military loads.

Finally got my hands on my beep. Really really wish it was numbered for 1775 and not 1798.

Picked up a pair of American Flyer 760s that are in great shape.  Going to install them on the layout later on tonight.

Bought these off the auction site for $110. Wheels aren’t rotted on the 3254, and it’ll be both my first electric profile engine and my first Ives engine, so that’s cool. I’ll probably pair it up with my red 60 series passenger cars and sell the 70 series cars to fund the inevitable itch for some more freight cars to go with my lonely 63 Gondola

Picked up my final prewar semi scale item. My 763 won't be so lonely anymore.

I'm really enjoying the bell in the tender!

Well, now I've got to buy a new front fender for my s10, had an accident this morning, all my windows and windsheild just froze suddenly while I was driving, tried to pull off at the gas station just past the curve where they froze, and hit the corner of a all-steel state road pickup bed, luckily, no one was injured, and their truck was unharmed (proof of all steel construction) but I punctured and bent in the passenger fender. Thank god for autobody class!
