I picked this up at a train show.  I suspect that it is 1/32 scale. 

Nice, but kind of odd, as that's a WW2 Willys or Ford Jeep in ETO markings, yet there's a Vietnam-era helicopter crewman standing at the driver side front corner. And it looks like a couple of 'Nam era figures are also in and around the Jeep as well based on how their web gear looks...

A group of reenactors calling in their order for lunch break!

Fair enough. There are re-enactment display events where people from different eras mingle together.

Even here

This, especially for the wedding cake diorama. The Barclay Company custom printed this signboard with the conductor, and got it to me in a flash. It looks terrific.

Just some Marx parts from R. Grossman and some Lionel parts from the Train Tender.

What was enjoyable was the conversation over the phone with Jeff who reminded me how long i have been placing orders from him -how time flies !

The wedding announcement sign is real cool, Carey. Congratulations and best of luck to the both of you. 

Jeff at Train Tender has been busy! I picked up parts for a friends 671 that needed a new gear and bearings. Those bearings are tiny!

Frank,

Do all the angle motor ones use the same motor and gears? They run so nice and smoke like crazy with those small drivers.

Bobby,

I would think the 671, 682 and 726, 736 all share the same motor but the bearing design can be different. The gear itself most likely are all the same.

Snagged these two composition train people for the Std Gauge layout table.

Love the lady's "fur" coat!

Yes I finally got my mitts on the K-Line Starlite Diner and it looks awesome, I love the K-Line Diners!

Its probably too tiny to even consider it anywhere expect on a shelf- but it looked so great I couldn't resist. 

vintage litho Hornby bookstall station!

I just found this Army flat car with airplane the other day at M.B. Kleins in their display case which I could not pass up on. I can not find any information on it in any of my many different books, so if anybody can tell me any info on if I wound appreciate it.

What has me confused is that the flat car is plastic with plastic trucks and fast angle wheels and has that it was made by MTSI in Korea and not by Lionel. And that the airplane does not have a Lionel name on it but it does have the Lionel # for the airplane made in the late 50's and made in the USA. Now it was it is in a Lionel box. 

I can tell you it's a Model 35 Bonanza, and that it wouldn't have been around for WWII if that's what you're modeling.

Just purchased a nice Marx revolving beacon tower .

This thread is always cool.    Arrived last Friday Legacy GN GP35 and updated with Kadees over the weekend.  Ok Cool for me.  For the purists out there.  Road number 2519( formerly GN 3036) is actually correct for BN patch job. Lionel got it wrong as Herald was removed, the road number was white numbers with BN underneath the cab, and the engine had been repainted from the simplified EB to BSB prior to the merger.

Fantastic score. I love this trolley set.

for my Std. Gauge layout table. Been looking at this for a while on the evilBay. Finally took the plunge.

22" long, 12" deep, 21" tall at the top of the chimney.

These will look nice alongside the 50' versions done by Pecos River Brass

Well Bryan, the pressure is off the two of us. Mr. Brown just dropped off my new Z4000 from Mario's. Ordered it yesterday and it was on my doorstep this afternoon and with free shipping. No pic just about everyone knows what a Z4000 is.............................Paul

Another item received to complete my piecing together set 1553W. The flat with trailers is the last piece I need. Worth 7 bucks I think.

Some more cool stuff posted.  This came today. MTH ATSF Waycar.  Ok cool for me.

Was going through some things that's been packed away. Found a few buried treasures. Thought I would share them. A coaster from that little 1880 village in Missouri. It is from July of1966.Very early  in the village's life .  It open in 1960, I'm not sure when the Train Ride started running, but it couldn't been running long. Also are two glasses; they are 4 inches tall and they speak for their selves.

42" display case from Lionel's Century Club M-10000.

I previously purchased two 4-piece stationary roller sets from Crest.

I intend to router out a channel in the base. I will add another piece to the bottom side with base track and wiring. Then make drop in block track pieces to place along side the roller blocks for an adjustable stationary operating display case. Previous forum threads gave me some pretty good ideas for this.

I can then test, operate, and display any of my locomotives or powered rolling stock. I wanted a long enough one to accommodate my Big Boy.

When I get to the project I'll have to post progress on another thread.

Yesterday I took a ride down to JustTrains in Newark Delware and bought the MTH Railking Norfolk Southern Operating Action Car with all of the fallen flags logos inside and then I took a ride up to Nicholas Smith TRains and purchased the MTH Railking Penn Central E-33 locomotive.  Was a pretty good day for me.

Finally picked up this set! 

Beautiful set!  The Pennsy M1a is a great engine. Enjoy the set.
