Thanks to our friends at Trainz.com:

And in regard to the GTT Texaco Submarine car I saw one on the Bay last for $55 + $15 shipping so I'm $36 and still deciding on the flat car deck.

I’m confused are you going to fuel your sub with rocket fuel? 🥺

Went a little out of my comfort zone and picked up this Weaver Baldwin A-B set. Couldn't beat the price Trainz had it listed for. Looks to be new , so I thought what the heck.

Are we straying into the scale realm, Donnie??? That is a very slippery slope… trust me

I'm afraid I dabble in all fields. except Z, yet.

Good looking tank car Joe.  It has a presence that makes one want to keep a cautious distance with any lit pipe or cigar.

Don't lose any sleep over the wood decking idea Joe..........probably next time you look on the Bay there might be one going for big bids.

To bob, I hate to break it to you, but what it says on the tank isn't always what's in the tank.  It can AV fuel going one way and salad oil going the other.  Trust me I was disturbed when I found that out also

Let me guess...it sat in the FedEx location in Ellenwood, GA all that time before it moved on? That's been my experience too.

Actually made it to Kansas in one day, then left the next day and then took 4 days to get to Arizona.

New stuff:

Sign for the door.

Whitcomb 65 ton switcher shell in 0 gauge.

Did someone say sharks????? 

Both Williams...the D&H set has the tru-blast sound set in the B unit.

Donnie- I started just like you with post-war and MPC......now I have over 70 engines including an ever growing collection of MTH PS and Lionel TMCC/ Legacy. A Cab-1L and DCS system were added last year as well......

And as for that hill that my friend Paul mentioned......all I can say is hold on tight.....

Bob

The Pennsy units bought from an eastern Pa dealer had it's sound boards removed, so no True Blast!

Ron

Paul I think the voices have found Donnie.

Eventually the voices (blessed be the voices!!!) come for all Forum members, Joe. Not sure if that is a perk of membership or a problem

Now, as friend Bob hinted at, we have to start nudging Donnie toward Command Control

Haha. You guys are a terrible, terrible influence. Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll have a 12x8 layout in a few years. Then we'll start talking about command control.....

Donnie it's not us it's those voices.  Like Paul aid they come to all of us, like Sirens to sailors.  Few can resist.

Some time the voices do sound like a male with a long ago Brooklyn accent tempered by years in Pennsylvania, but Sirens none the less!

Lionel RS-27 custom run from Mr. Muffin’s trains came in yesterday. Everything works as it should so far. Nothing broken that I could see. Runs well and the smoke output is decent.

I resemble that remark, Joe
