A KMT Yakima Valley Washington Apples in Orange. Been trying to find one for years, I have the 3 variations of the Yellow Washington Apples from KMT but the Orange one has been super elusive.

The guy didn't know what he had and I think I could have bought it for less than $150. I passed on it because I am an operator not a collector. Hope someone picks it up who appreciates it.
so......go back to the shop...buy the set, then run it!
The littel cannon does work. Shoots a .177 cal bb or pellet with black powder

Perfect for a Live Steam ride-on layout!
Given the recent demise of Weaver.... I had to (and the price was right). And yes, I know the Powhattan Arrow didn't have baggage cars. John Q Public isn't going to give a rip when they see this running on our modular layout. My GGD set likely will never leave my house.
Now I've got the first, last and two add-on cars from the Weaver 5 car set. Patience, and I may eventually pickup cars 2-4.
Had a few items show up this week. Got a pair of Weaver Dow Chemical tank cars (another chemical company I got to tour in high school Chem class) from another Forum member. Also picked up more lumber loads for a Center Beam Flat Car project I'm working on. Got an MTH A&W Root Beer box car (I grew up drinking the stuff and I still do, albeit diet now). And the big item was a pair of MTH ATSF GP38-2's which were really impressive.

Picked up 20 issues of LIVE STEAM magazine from the 1977-78 era. Different kind of a read, for sure. No plans to get in to live steam but interesting. At 50 cents each it is cheap entertainment.
The last backorder item came into Side Track Hobbies a few weeks ago so I went down and picked it up plus several items they had been holding for me. Besides a PH180, some figurines, and a MTH AFT 70' full dome car to add to my MTH AFT train I run at NCT shows, the coolest item was the new Lion Chief Plus NYC RS-3. I got this engine to also run at shows to show folks interested in O gauge how simple it is to get into O and how easy and neat command control is. While at Side Track, I bought a Lionel caboose to go with it. Can't wait for the next show.

After taking a break from trains for a few years I couldn't resist buying a Atlas O California Zephyr observation car. I bought a CB&Q Silver Penthouse and ordered a set of Silver Solarium decals from LBR Enterprises. Personally I think Atlas missed a mark by not doing the Silver Solarium in non Amtrak! I have traveled on the Solarium and Lariat several times and wanted the models of them. Going to disassemble them and paint the interiors as they are currently and load them with passengers. Should be a fun project!
