Buy anything cool lately?

Cool pic... I was away down in the mountains in southwest Alberta after posing that, there's a guy down there with a yard that's got five or six in ok shape just wasting away. Shame.

Mr. Brown just dropped these off yesterday for me. Lionel S-2 switchers......Paul

Three more items came. Lionel wood chip hopper, Lionel ore car and a Gadsden ore car.......Paul

Here's something I got in the beginning of September.

Here's a photo of the real Prairie View:

Peter Araujo, It looks great!  I'll have to get some cars like that for this!  Yes the Great Northern probably didn't use F3s to pull the Empire Builder, but mine will.  I got an exceptionally sweet deal on this set at the beginning of the month.

The entire first year of the OGR magazine - a York find:

This should help keep us on schedule.

The recent sale of some HO brass allowed me to purchase another version of one of my favorite diesels-this time an SP "Bloody Nose"....  (Lionel)

In addtion to a Hallmark 1936 GMC (I had their 1937 Ford, also newly discovered but already repainted) pickup (I hope Hallmark continues that 

series with some pre-1941 Chevrolets and other pickups...the GMC is a 

surprise, as I have seen few in vintage car shows), I picked up a 1936 Ford

sedan, 1;43ed, by White Box, and saw some Neo, first time I have seen

either at a show.  I also picked up the power chasses for more gas electrics,

also maybe including the McKeen car posted on here....IF that happens.

I believe they ran both 3s and 7s on that train, which is what I do as well. Even if they hadn't I think your engines look great!

Paul 2 nice.  Where did you get that blue bridge?  How long is it?

Thanks

Thank you Len!!

6 LBS of scrapple for the Wednesday preYork gathering at my place. Every one left happy, full and content!

Scrapple is a dish best served cool?

Ken,

That information is super to know!!  I planned to look into it, just for fun sometime, but I should guess someone like you from the Pacific Northwest would chime in.  So the E7s overheated in the mountains!  How about that!  Up to 1955, the year before I was born is just the era I like to model.  My uncle and his family in Federal Way, Washington rode on the Empire Builder before Amtrak and once Amtrak took over.  

Thank you very much!!  

While on cab units, here is another great deal I got this week; and I didn't even have to leave Butler and drive cross state to York to get it.  

In addition to the F3 A-B-A set, I purchased a ProtoSound 1 B&O E-8 A-B-A set plus 7 streamline passenger cars all new in box that a fellow had from a large estate sale. He lubed, put in a BCR, and checked out the E8s before putting up for sale. Super price! I may upgrade to PS3, but they run great conventionally.

The only trouble is, now I need a larger layout!! 

Added two more cars to my fleet of McCoy with Canadian names.
