Center Stage! That was the place I went to. I couldn't quite remember. Thank you!!

My dad's present for Christmas! MTH Premier Long island 2-8-0
Well...maybe not all that cool but...
John it's in the top 5 coolest things you've ever bought. It will genuinely change your life as douchey as that might sound
I was on the phone with a forum member earlier to day and was talking about the possibilities of swapping the shells from my Weaver NP RS 11 to Lionel SP RS 11 Chassis. Must of been a sign. While at the park with my kids I discovered a Lionel NP RS 11 had just been posted on the bay. Pulled the trigger and bought it. Been looking for this for a while now. Ok cool for me.

Thanks, Matt. It's certainly on top of the cool things I've bought.

Nope, cool for me, too. I always thought the RS-11 were a neat looking unit.
And I live within sight of an old NP branch, so I bet in the past, you could have seen them going past what at the time was a prairie and is now my back yard...
OH MY GOD JON THAT WAS SO PUNNY!!!
Matt, you set 'em up, I'll knock 'em down...
I've been contemplating buy this WbB GN SD-45 since it was made by Williams Reproductions and finally pulled the trigger. I had more than enough GN engines especially once I bought the WbB GP-30. And I was holding out hope someone would finally put out a GN engine in the BSB paint scheme.
I apologize for the lighting of the photos.
Yes Matt, I did, a TMCC 4-12-2 found by Friends in the Hobby at a Local Train Meet in Indiana.....Wow, like New...
P51, thank you for showing the front of your new book, The Franklin and South Manchester Railroad, as its one of the best HO model railroads ever built. I have the videos of this layout and George Sellios is truly a 3D Artist. I would love to see this layout in person. Although I am not into HO, I admire this mans attention to fine detail, a very Realistic mind for a builder of a truly scenic detailed model railroad. I think his work is better than the Late John Allen's "Gorre & Daphatid" model railroad of the 1950's....Happy Railroading...
Oh yes, I just traded for this Southern Cresent Legacy Steamer, New...
Larry,
That looks great!!!
Just got my brass through plate deck for my bridge project.
Eric, Fantastic Bridge and crisp pictures....Beautiful. Job well Done.
Because I live 3 miles from Ft. Campbell, Ky., I had to get this Diesel...I think Lionel did a Super Job on this diesel as it performs Flawlessly. See what you think.
Well when it rains it pours. Budget for the month completely shot to pieces. Just picked up another CB&Q/C&S SD40 from Dave Ripp.
and this arrive yesterday Red caboose CB&Q GP9. Current plan is to swap shell onto another frame and upgrade to PS2/3 or EER and yes in the background in the process of Kadee install of Atlas SD40. Ok cool for me but not my wallet.

Very nice Buy! I take it you switch everything to Kadee? I really like the looks of them with Kadee!
Erik, who made the bridge? its beautiful
Matt Makens posted:Erik, who made the bridge? its beautiful
I'm guessing that Overland made that beauty.
1974! That is when I graduated from high school. Yes it would seem that is what rockets referred to.
Just purchased the MTH Railking Norfolk Southern ES44 Honoring Veterans Locomotive and caboose at Nicholas Smith Trains yesterday. Very sharp set.
I got this nice old 70's style custom van. It definitely helps set the time period. 
This is what I picked up today:
Lionel no. 817 caboose:
Lionel no. 815 tank car:
MTH Union Bank:
MTH Hobby Store:
and lastly, an MTH Corner Drug Store:
I've been watching for a 6418/6518 car for a while now. I liked the 6518 more,but always thought the transformer looked too small of a load for the size of the car, so I had hoped to find a car without the load, but no luck.Been watching this one on Craigslist all summer, and finally went for it. Came today, beautiful box, only missing one inner flap, with a price of $7.95 from a store in Altoona.Someone had painted the top of the car brown and added Pennsylvania decals, which works for me.Of course the insulaters are broke. For the time being, and until I get around to finishing the model, I found a load worthy of the car.
Now that's cool, I see Boing 737's on flat cars all the time when in Seattle.
Im happy with this

I would be happy too, Joe! Looks sharp!!
I got in the last Marx #999 chassis I'll probably need for three projects, the first begun but stalled due to some bug, and holiday decorating, That steam inspection coach has shape but l have faint hope that the steam coach and 2-4-4-2 will be available commercially, so those two still await a kitbash. Also, the last of available Graham auto models, one for 1937, was recently released. Several other interesting orphans, pre-1940, are in the pipeline, but not inexpensive, including a 1937 Studebaker Decatur.
Got a great deal on a box of Lionel and Marx accessories at an estate sale yesterday. I messed up and left the keypad behind for the Lionel 299 code transmitter tower
chalk it up to inexperience! I really like the 419 heliport though.
franktrain
nice score Frank
Did not buy but was given Menard's Train Station, Red Owl Grocery and Santa Fe Warbonnet box car for birthday last night.
Very nice BIGEBMW! Lucky you. I have something coming from the mother in-law for Christmas!
Went to the Medina Ohio show. Not a lot of trains more toys this time around but I got another 10 pounds of ballast from Brummy's...............Paul
