Waiting on my GM Train of Tomorrow from Sunset (might even have been their last one), but I did receive my performance alternator & retro headlights for my Mustang, to be installed Tuesday. 

Where's the rest of the car?

Here ya go.  Just need to repaint hood, wash & wax, & detail the interior, & she's ready for summer.

Nice!!!!!!!!  Will take that over a 2016 corvette stingray any day.

Thank god its Friday!!!!!!!    Here are some of my other plunder this month.  The big one came from forum member  bluelinec4. MTH Premier GN SD45 One from the Bay #411. He made the connection to OGR,  contacted me offline, and was good enough to offer up #400.  #411 was great #400 made my day. Now I am just waiting for my order from Shapways to come in so I can install Kadees.

Second find was a  CMMC 50' Box Car. Didn't think twice when this popped up. Needs work but plug/standard door combination hard to find.

Finally a Lionel CB&Q Extended Vision Waycar.  This was my consolation prize as I lost track of time Sunday and failed to get a final bid in before the auction closed ( Was out bidded twice )on a Sunset CB&Q wood waycar.       Ok way cool for me.

This is an angle I've not noticed before. In combination with the paint job it creates a very interesting wedge style the makes it stand out a bit more than other SDs.

Nice additions. Thanks for capturing the look it the way you did

Details for my mine shafthouse came in....horizontal steam engine, to power a single spool mine hoise and lift a mine hoist cage.  Those three items are the first to arrive of several over due.  Waiting on a steam tractor to see which I like better to power this hoist.

  I'm thinking that having a Bacon Jam sundae while running trains this summer.  

Bet this would be great on Scrapple.....

Hit several hobby shops today, and got two sets of woodland scenics figures, a bound 1943 set of model craftsman magazine, and a book on hawaiian railroad action during ww2 that I've wanted for a very long time.

Also got several detail parts of various types.

Birthday presents from my family!

Hi DMASSO, Don. Beautiful Fun Toy, I just recently sold a 2015 Corvette StingRay,

and you bought a 911 perhaps?

Remember the movie, "Aliens"?

I found a great die-cast version of the APC from that movie at a local comic book store today and couldn't resist. Turns out, it looks almost perfect for O scale. I just took these photos for fun, it's not on the layout now.

Tim,

Very nice!!!  It is great when a father and son share the same interests.   I would have loved to share model trains with my dad or daughters, but my dad would have loved it if my brother or I stuck with fly fishing!!  He has been great about encouraging our own interests, and I have done the same with our daughters.

I try to be.   I usually don't get all these cool toys on my birthday.  However; they decided to spoil me this year!

Psst...they may not want to admit it but thy want to run them too.

Snagged this little guy today, I just liked the colors. The start of my "crayon box" 200 series freight consist.

Got this from Joey at Nicholas Smith last week

Picked up the Southern E8 #6900 Saturday.  It makes a companion unit to the other two since they are all contemporary running units.  Two here at the NCTM the N&W has been a visitor here also.

Sure did! The final car of Atlas' Zephyr, the Conductor's Dome. It is on the water now.

Not railroad related, but i scored this off ebay for less than 20 bucks with shipping.

It's from the county I was born in, for the timeframe I was born (at the end of November, 1969).

On my way home from the hospital as an infant, I could have been driven past the very car that had this plate for all I know.

And yes, I know this makes some of you feel old...

payday was yesterday

My husband Tom and I have lived our entire lives in California, so I picked up both the green and the brown repro Lionel CALIFORNIA passenger cars from the State Sets. These will run behind my pink/red 408E.

I love prevailing wage jobs buy toys and still have money in the savings lol. Granted I have not seen most the things I got yet but here is a few items I got. 

MTH LIRR G-5s # 21, MTH G-5s PRR # 5740, MTH FEC BL2 606, MTH Bangor f7 set, MTH sw8 bar 33, Lionel lirr C-420, 206 and LIRR HH-64 1501. Marianne bench work.

I had posted this one pic on the what did you do on the layout page but also decided to post this here seeing it's new. I just got this today from the CTTA, a Canadian club. It is one of their offerings and I like Canadian road names. This is actually the first time I have bought a 36' reefer. Here is a pic..........Paul

From the MTH 2016-1 All four All Door Boxcars.  2 from my LHS Brentwood Antiques and 2 from Mr Muffin. Now I'm looking for the Green Bay & Western?

River City 3 Railers has now upgraded to a brand new 8.5x24' trailer. Just picked it up today. Pretty cool in my book.

MTH GE EVO Hybrid.

Got these on Friday. Had been looking for this Buffalo Creek Graphics Genesee beer three car set for quite awhile. Here is a pic.........Paul

Bought this little conductor guy with his lantern for the layout, his arms swing!  

And this curvaceous new Barclay "chanteuse" (will be repainted as moi), along with five other new Barclay ladies. More gents will be added soon...

Hi all, I am new to this forum and looking forward to learn a lot. Great photos. I recently ordered a Bachmann Thoroughbred and I am waiting for it to arrive

It's all right, we're clear! Ripley, you've blown the transaxle, you're just grinding metal! C'mon, ease down! Ease down! Ease down!

AnnetteRatley, welcome to the forum. You will find a good deal of good information on this forum. And if you do not see what information you need just ask the question and you will get an answer..............Paul

I call this  "attic fresh" it looks like the motors have not been touched, still had the original tape to hold the wiring down. Cosmetically the body is rough but thats ok with me I'm the same age. Of course the old Eveready is toast but the e-unit sequences just fine and it runs smooth for being 62 years old. I'm kinda reluctant to clean it up and loose its history.

Franktrain, I had one come through for repair where the battery looked way worse than that and I brought her back to life with a few parts and a little elbow grease

My latest addition: The PRR B-28.  It will be featured in my next upload, Steam Pusher Service

Very nice Peter!!
