Nice looking Engines Bob! As common as they are finding the banjo in that complete condition and price is definitely a score.

Nice looking engine purchases Bob.

The F unit green NYC is different from what I am used to seeing but it sure makes a really handsome looking locomotive.

Good looking engines Bob.

That GREEN NYC  F  unit is different than what I am used to seeing but it certainly is a really handsome looking locomotive.

Thanks Bob ! Sometimes it’s the little things that make it all worthwhile !

Thanks Joseph…when I saw it I had to have it ! I was broke on Saturday but my good freind lent me the money.

Wow, there were some great buys at York, probably many more than we will ever hear about, but here in the OGR Forum, a member had a good offering of Atlas O billboard reefers and other really nice freight cars, at a “buy now” price. I picked out 9 cars and they are nice, fun to run cars. Thank you Bruce…. Happy Railroading Everyone

At York last week I bought a really nice 140 banjo signal boxed with instructions for only 20.00 dollars !

In the past, I always stayed away from the NYC green E-8 until I saw your purchase.  The engine looks great.  Now I'm sorry I pasted it up.  Thanks for posting..

Frank when those came out we had two kids in college so they were out of the question…I’m glad I got another chance at them !

Bought two more of the ubiquitous LIONEL TCA aluminum passenger cars on eBay:  the RPO car (which I believe is unique to this set) and an extra full length dome bringing the total to 8, including the six acquired at York.

I bought a collection of stuff. Shell gas station with moving car from Railking, Esso station from Lionelville,non active station, UP burro train and cars, k line dairyman’s league building and car, Lionel lighted yard tower, MTH water tower, and union city bank. New old stock except dairy league building. ALL boxed included. Found it semi local as I drove a couple of hours in traffic through LA. Saved shipping but paid for my gas and driving time. Fun and an adventure.

I bought a K-Line WM Chessie caboose and an MTH RS-11 at York. My first new train purchases in about 2 years.

Started to unbox some Atlas containers. Ordered benchwork and am ready to start putting together my intermodal yard.

WHOA!! Are those all shipping containers in the blue boxes? I can’t wait to see that yard when it’s done.

I just received my custom-run 2-8-0 from MrMuffin's/Harry Heike earlier today - an N&W 2-8-0 class W2. I posted about it here, and I'll insert one of the photos.

I also picked up a supposedly-new 3rd Rail PRR 2-10-0 with the coast-to-coast tender. Everyone is probably quite familiar with the model, however this one is special to me because it is my very first Pennsy engine. No pictures right now as it is still in its box, maybe I'll dig it out later.

Nice Carl

I like these cars and they are so inexpensive. I've been thinking of buying them, removing the TCA lettering, and replacing it with "The Milwaukee Road".

The car colors are right

Nice haul leapinlarry. I bought a similar amount of rolling stock from Bruce in September - mix of scale MTH, Atlas, K-Line - all in great condition. Best purchase of the year.

I picked up an MPC Era JLC engine along with the matching display case for $80. My first engine with working SOS sounds, I kind of like it the analog sounds. I'm using the display case for my grandfather's 226e that I've inherited.

Dave,

Who manufactured this car? Thanks in advance.

Mike

Sorry for the delayed answer, it's made by MTH Trains.

Put this in your search bar.

The weak point in my inventory has been freight cars.  Over the past year, forumites have been offering some nice, full O-scale cars at good prices.  While nothing I''ve acquired has been "exceptional", I'm quite pleased with the inventory acquired to date.

An added plus, the TCA observation car is similar to the MR's Skytop observation cars.
