I was watching the game in the on campus pub.  The inning before the comeback everyone was so frustrated hot dogs were flying at the big screen projection TV.  Remember those?

I sure do Joe. I used to install Nova-beam projectors for a living.

Hey everyone, I haven’t posted in a while. Here’s a few things I’ve bought.

the k line caboose I just put the LED’s on. This snow globe my wife picked, she loves it!

Nice haul, Corey, but really… a 1 train on the Brighton line - have they changed the routes THAT much since I moved to the Poconos???

Thanks! It’s because the MTA only bought one order of these cars. They were supposed to be for the second ave project. They ran on all different lines before they stopped using them. So no routes didn’t change that much.

Christmas came early ^ now let’s see some TicTok videos 😂😂

Glad you’re over here also Corey!!!

Great additions to your collections everyone!!

Last week I received this custom patriotic M&Ms boxcar. I missed out on a similar one over the summer so I contacted the eBay seller and they kindly made me another one.

That M&M's billboard looks like it was sprayed on using some sort of photo process.  Very nice job and very cool car -- love the hats they're wearing -- most worthy of posting here.  I met a lady from Minnesota a few years ago at a train show and she did the same sort of photo process thing, but I lost her card.  Would you mind sharing the contact of the seller?

A few more items

Christmas came early!! This popped up on ebay for $150 buy it now and I couldn't pass. It's cosmetically excellent, but missing one tender marker light, one engine marker light doesn't light, and the rear tender truck is attached, but is loose. It runs/pulls great and I couldn't be happier.

Nice hauls, Cory. Don’t you love the detailing on those Nathan’s boxcars? So glad I was able to get them when they came out. You’re also doing a great job picking up the best subways for your collection.

Yes the details are nice. I originally ordered one but when I went to trainland to pick it up, I ended up buying the other one! Thanks for the compliment about the subway sets. There will be more videos soon.

Yes Christmas definitely came early. You’ll really see when I get these other videos done. Thanks for following my TikTok. More videos of me(and the foreman 🐈) coming soon!

As a follow up to my recent post about getting the 773. I saw a good deal to get all 6 of the scale reissue cars from 1991/92 and couldn't pass it up. Now I have freight to pull also!

I bought these for my Birthday.

R40 Subway Set

Picked up this Maine Central box car in green livery at the NE Train Expo in Marlborough, Mass this past weekend. I have a lot of MC rolling stock in yellow/orange colors, but this is the first in green.

Interestingly, there are no markings on the car to indicate who is the manufacturer. It's very well done and comes with plastic thumbtack couplers. Its larger than Lionel/traditional; I'd say semi-scale.

My Lionel BTO UP F 3 AA set just arrived at my dealer, so I'll be posting a review on that in the near future.

Got bitten by the Menards bug again...... They ran the free lighted truck promo so I picked up a PRR gondola to go with the

'48 Ford panel truck.

THEN....... Found this MTH SW-1 w/ PS2 on the FS forum. I've been wanting a SW-1 for a long time. This one seemed to fall in my lap. Fits in perfectly with the N/E roads that I run.
