Nice set, Corey. I took it 1 train to Lincoln Center many, many times. I was rather pleasantly surprised at the realistic sounds, especially the wheel squeal and breaking. But what really got me (and what gave me some horrible flashbacks to my days riding the subways in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s) was the final announcement - “Attention passengers... this train is going out of service”

MPC BCRR Set!

Just arrived today: Morton Salt SW-1 Switcher!  It's my first Rail King Engine purchase and I haven't burst into flames just yet.  It will go well with my menagerie of Morton Salt 3-bay hoppers.  (An NW-2 would have perhaps been more exciting but it serves its purpose.)  I should probably look for the Factory at this point.

Nice Anthony.

This would be a really nice one for my wife.  Maybe hauling a gondola with a bunch of puppies......?........

(  we drove to Cincinnati tho get a rescue dog........ a partially blind and partially deaf 12 year old ,almost white miniature Schauzer  ..............name..............MORTON ..aka Morty. )

Really nice Corey.🤓

Watching your videos sure makes me wish i had some way to incorporate a subway system on my small layout.             I'm going to have to get some of my gray matter more active.

That's funny!  I have a completely blind cat.  Her interest include the boxes that my train stuff comes in. A

Well Anthony , there are a lot of people that say all this is nothing more than playing with little toy trains........ ...........after seeing different photos and videos on this Forum it seems like the little critters have a greater respect for the hobby than thosepeople  😉

Got this at a model train show over the weekend for just 30 bucks:

Not RR marked but it has a "blue flag" frenel globe and a good burner

Brought the new MTLionel Christmas Barn.  Looks great.  Added a blinking red LED to Rudolph's window.

More pictures and video HERE.

More items added to my collection.

Collecting BN/BNSF items that are not similar to what I already have in my collection (Lionel 2126031 - Burlington Northern PS-5 Covered Gondola ):

Every time I went back to WI to visit my parents, seems like I constantly heard "Save Big Money at Menards" so had to get this boxcar (279-4556 - Menards "Save Big Money" Boxcar):

And why not this car (279-5345 - Menards Boxcar (Green)):

Had one more item in my Menards box, but problem with one of the trucks. One of the axles is either too long or too short. That end of the truck won't stay in place. Already requested an exchange.

Stop at a garage sale and spotted a red nose of a American Flyer PA sitting on top of a box with the B unit and 3 shiny passenger cars. I could not resist, I mostly have O gauge but that PA nose made me buy them. Will clean them up and get them running and put up a loop of S gauge track.

My cousin had that set. It's a beauty. Looks like it's in good shape too.

Enjoy

Keeping the Santa Fe theme going. I just picked up this Lionel AA set from a forum member. The blue freight scheme is one of my faves.

The powered unit is going to get a ERR AC commander upgrade soon.

I'm pretty sure the Mail Lady and the UPS driver were cussing me under their breath today.

sorry, wrong vid in the last post,

Love seeing Marx; thanks for sharing.  Good luck finding the pilot set; let us know if you have any luck.

Purchased this through the NYC Historical Society... The book takes you on a photographic journey from Grand Central to Albany and beyond along the Central’s Water Level Route through an amazing collection of photograph. A couple of years ago, the same author published a “companion” volume covering the Harlem Line and the Old Put. Gotten about half way through, and I’m very happy with my purchase!!!

Got a set of Lionel Legacy Chicago Great Western F7’s to go along with my MrMuffin’sTrains CGW GP30!

Received special club car that I ordered Nov 2020.

Paul that's the east side of the Hudson, correct? It's two tracks now but wasn't 4 in the NYCs prime?
