Buy anything cool lately?

David is an ace, whoever he is.

Theres a lot of great purchases being shown here on the forum today. I finally received my Legacy CSX AC6000 road diesel from a fellow at the TCA Meet February 4th in Memphis Tennessee…. It’s a 2009 model and I couldn’t believe the pricing. Happy Railroading Everyone

Another neat toy in Larry's play room!

New.........RK /  B&P / MP15                                                      New to me.......RK / Pennsy E33 Rectifier.

I was checking the inventory for Menards and decided to take advantage of the 11% rebate along with a sale on two of the buildings. I already have a M&M’s warehouse so I grabbed another one that I’ll likely make into a Menards warehouse. As I’m typing this, their inventory still shows 5.

Next up is the Multi-Sign/Purpose building. Very nicely detailed building that keeps a fairly small footprint. Their inventory currently shows only 3 remaining.

The final item I got from this purchase was actually a dealer pack. I liked the 2 pack of PRR ore cars so much I grabbed the 8 pack while it was still available. All have different numbers as advertised. Current inventory shows 3 so don’t wait if you’re interested!

Here’s an overall photo of this purchase.

My first postwar 6464 box car being pulled by my 736 and other freight cars. Just a nice classic postwar look!

I showed this engine before as EL 1150.
It got leased to the PRSL and is just back from the paint shop. Christine did another great job.

When I went looking for AC glue; I found this on Amazon. There are 50 individual vials. I’ve always had problems with larger bottles. I glued about 40 people and 6 bulkheads with the one vial. There is still more in there.  I didn’t spill a drop and I don’t have to worry about freshness! The box is in my bar fridge.

Yesterday I attended The Great Northeast Train Show in Dunmore PA. It was packed!! I mean the isles were to a crawl! There was a great variety of trains to choose from with very reasonable prices on many tables. I spotted a few items I wanted but hesitating caused me to miss out on them. Last year this was the first train show I ever attended and it really launched me off into my train mayhem LoL.

I found 3 Menards UTLX tankers at an incredible price along with a box truck.

The Wienermobile even showed up for a bit!

There was also a pretty good food menu available.

I encountered this truck tailgate when I was leaving. Pretty cool!! This is the second one I’ve seen at a show now.

Great show as always! Here’s details on the October show.

What a great collection, those tanks getting shuffled in and out of a refinery with a vintage diesel, would be really fantastic, and good lord I haven't see a Wiener Mobile in several decades in Person.  Thank you

Wow, love this mural.  I wonder if this was all air-brushed on or was it a graphic wrap?

The below Flag boxcar was part of a Lionel NS set in the 2022 Catalog, p69.  Since I ordered the other four Flag Boxcars that were sold individually,  I wanted this car to complete the set.  When I placed my order with my local hobby store, I asked if he would consider doing a set breakup,  This week, when I went to pick up my Flag Boxcar order, I was supprised to see this NS car inluded with the other four  My hobby store did a set breakup,  Thank You Chris..

I came across this at a car show about four years ago.

Any chance there was an N-gauge layout in the rear?!

There was a layout in the back. I don't remember what scale it was or why I didn't take a picture of it.

New Menards CN tank cars. Color is all wrong. Way to pink. One would think cars coming out of China they might be a tad more red.                                                      
That being said. They make for a decent unit train for the grandkids.

I liked this Vessel #1 J.I.S. screwdriver so much, at $6.99 with free shipping (amazon), I purchased a spare.
