Finally able to find something to buy because my antique dealer is back from vacation. He just got in a Lionel 3560 search light car in good shape, a little dirty and the light works. Also had an old photo album with a bunch of old B&W photos of steamers- the NKP 227(sister of 765?), the Pere Marquette 1227, some Alco diesels , a Y6 and several C&Os plus others.

Just got back 2 days ago from t e week in NYC and a train trip across the country (Metro on the NE corridor to DC, the Capitol Limited, then the Empire Builder).

During the week, we went to Steamtown and Strasburg. Such a great time...

Got a fair amount of swag at the PA stops:

 

Oh, I also bought the camera I took this shot with, it's a new canon 24.2MP SLR! I got it at the main B&H store in Manhattan...

Jordan,

Well how about that!!  I never saw them before at all!

Hey from here in the south west. Went to Bixby Ok. today to a decent train show. Lots of nice goodies but just more than I wanted to spend. Did pick-up some items though while I was in Tulsa. I had purchased 7 books from a fellow on craigslist and he lived in Broken Arrow; so I met with him this morning and picked them up. Went to Ollie's Train Station Restaurant for lunch; really cool place for train folks.  they have lots of O-gauge and G-gauge trains to look at and 2 operating loops hanging from the ceiling and 1 shelf loop. Went over to Sand Springs to the toy train museum and while I was there I purchased the Texaco Tank car. Ollie's is just off of 244 west, on South West Blvd. The Toy Train Museum is on 126 Main St in Sand Springs. Had a big day.
